          Appeal No. 1997-3224                                                        
          Application No. 08/231,531                                                  


          the second operation represented by the graphical object and                
          the first operation represented by the graphical object.                    
          Furthermore, this is generated after the step of performing a               
          second operation corresponding to the second command.                       
          Similarly, we find that the other independent claim 23 recites              
          similar language.  We find that the Examiner has not made a                 
          prima facie case showing that these references teach these                  
          limitations.                                                                
               In view of the foregoing, we have not sustained the                    
          rejection of claims 10 through 19 under 35 U.S.C. § 103, nor                
          have we sustained the rejection of claims 1 through 8 and 22                
          through 24 under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  Accordingly, the Examiner's              
          decision is reversed.
