             Appeal No. 1998-2983                                                                                  
             Application No. 08/481,230                                                                            


                    With respect to claim 8, appellants rely upon the argument presented with respect              
             to claim 6 and the activation of a control to transfer the video picture back to a third type of      
             window.  As with claim 6, the examiner has not addressed the language of claim 8 in the               
             rejection or in the response to the arguments section.  Similarly, we cannot sustain the              
             rejection of claim 8 for the same reasons with respect to claim 6.                                    
                    With respect to claims 14, 16 and 17, appellants rely upon the argued allowability of          
             claim 18 for patentability.  We disagree with appellants as discussed above with respect              
             to claim 1, which is grouped with claim 18.  Therefore, we sustain the rejection of these             
             claims for the same reasons with respect to claim 18.                                                 
                                                 CONCLUSION                                                        

                    To summarize, the decision of the examiner to reject claims 1-5, 7 and 9-12, and               
             14-18 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is affirmed, and the decision of the examiner to reject claims            
             6 and 8 under 35 U.S.C. § 103 is reversed.                                                            




                    No time period for taking any subsequent action in connection with this appeal may             
             be extended under 37 CFR § 1.136(a).                                                                  
                                              AFFIRMED-IN-PART                                                     




                                                        12
