          Application No. 08/357,325                                                  


          on the setting blocks, and pressed against the backing                      
          gaskets. The side locking sections, are then inserted, then                 
          the top locking sections. They can be inserted by pivoting                  
          them slightly to ride under the tooth 19 of the base section                
          members.  . . .  The glazing wedges 32 can then be inserted in              
          the sides and top, and finally the bottom locking section                   
          positioned, and its glazing wedge inserted.                                 



               Kelley's invention relates to work space management                    
          systems. In one of its aspects, the invention relates to a                  
          work space management system wherein walls are easily                       
          constructed, configured and changed, and wherein modular                    
          functional wall tiles and work tools are easily configured,                 
          changeable and relocatable within the system without                        
          interfering with the underlying rigid frame structure.  As                  
          shown in Figures 2, 22-25 and 28, the system includes a window              
          tile 30d which provides visual and light porosity to the work               
          space.  The window tile 30d can thus function as a window                   
          between work stations on opposite sides of a frame 40.  As                  
          shown, window tile 30d has an outer casement 38 which supports              
          light-transmitting pane 38a of glass or plastic and which                   
          covers the sides of the frame members 42.  Alternatively,                   
          Kelley teaches (column 8, lines 12-16) that
