                 Application No. 09/322,043                                                                                                             


                 appellants disagree as to whether claim 3 has been canceled or                                                                         
                 is still pending.   No other claim remains in the application.1                                                                                                       































                          1The instruction to "[a]dd the following Claim [new claim 10]                                                                 
                 (replacing original claim 3)" on page 2 of the amendment filed March 24, 2000                                                          
                 (Paper No. 3) appears to us to be an instruction to add a new claim 10 and to                                                          
                 cancel claim 3.  Moreover, it is apparent from the examiner's comments on page                                                         
                 2 of the answer that the examiner has so treated that instruction.  In any                                                             
                 event, in that the examiner has not rejected claim 3, we leave its status to                                                           
                 be addressed by the primary examiner.                                                                                                  
                                                                           2
