                                 DECISION ON APPEAL                                   
               This is an appeal from the decision of the examiner                    
          finally rejecting claims 23-31, which at that point                         
          constituted all of the claims remaining of record in the                    
          application.  Subsequently, claim 23 was canceled, and claims               
          24-27 and 29-31 were amended.  However, no claims were allowed
