          Appeal No. 1998-0148                                                        
          Application 08/317,990                                                      

          means”.  We find no requirement to limit this to one input or a             
          single input, or a single instruction for an input means.                   
          Appellant’s input means is disclosed as a keyboard, mouse or                
          touch screen.  Simpson clearly teaches these devices.                       
               In view of the foregoing, Appellant's request for rehearing            
          is denied as to making any change in our decision.                          
               No time period for taking any subsequent action in                     
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
