          Appeal No. 1999-0475                                                        
          Application No. 08/402,031                                                  


               control the display of options on said monitor and the                 
               interpretation and implementation of commands entered on               
               said monitor,                                                          
                    a printer for printing documents and forms, and                   
                    a processor, responsive to said monitor and said                  
               memory and communicating therewith, said processor being               
               connected to said printer to control printing of a                     
               document or form by said printer upon selection thereof                
               by a user and entry of commands via said touch screen                  
               monitor, wherein said software causes said monitor                     
               initially to display a listing of libraries and, upon                  
               user selection of a library, then causes said monitor to               
               display a listing of the documents and forms included in               
               the selected library and of one or more kits of documents              
               and forms included in the selected library.                            
               The Examiner relies on the following prior art:                        
          Montagna et al. (Montagna)    4,899,292           Feb. 06,                  
                                                            1990                      
          Freiman et al. (Freiman)           4,939,670           Jul.                 
                                                                 03, 1990             
          Greulich et al. (Greulich)    5,241,464           Aug. 31,                  
                                                            1993                      
               Claims 1, 4-6, 8-12, 14, 16, and 17 stand rejected under               
          35 U.S.C. § 102(b) as being anticipated by Montagna.  Claims                
          7, 13, and 18-33 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103.  As                  
          evidence of obviousness, the Examiner offers Montagna in view               
          of Greulich with respect to claims 7 and 18, Montagna in view               
          of Freiman with respect to claims 19-24, 26-30, and 32, and                 
          Montagna in view of Greulich and Freeman with respect to                    

                                          4
