          Appeal No. 1999-1598                                                         
          Application 08/668,656                                                       

               Because Rothfield does not disclose the steps of                        
          "producing a selectable display task icon that represents the                
          sequence of data operations" and "responding to user selection               
          of the display task icon by executing the sequence of                        
          application program data operations on the data files," it                   
          does not anticipate claim 1.  Corresponding limitations are                  
          found in the other independent claims.  Accordingly, the                     
          rejection of claims 1, 3-32, 34-43, and 45-55 is reversed.                   
                                       REVERSED
