          Application No. 08/767,220                                                  


               Cassorla et al. (“Cassorla”)       5,146,552           Sep.            
               8, 1992                                                                
                                                  (filed Feb. 28, 1990)               
               Cochran et al. (“Cochran”)    4,879,648           Nov.  7,             
               1989                                                                   
          Claims 25, 28-33, and 36-40 stand rejected under 35 U.S.C.                  
          § 103 as being obvious over Cassorla in view of Cochran.                    
          Rather than reiterate the arguments of the appellant or                     
          examiner in toto, we                                                        


          refer the reader to the brief and answer for the respective                 
          details thereof.                                                            


                                       OPINION                                        
               After considering the record, we are persuaded that the                
          examiner erred in rejecting claims 25, 28-33, and 36-40.                    
          Accordingly, we reverse.  We begin by summarizing the                       
          examiner's rejection and the appellant's argument.                          


               The examiner asserts, "a state or airport code may be                  
          entered into the location field.  Depending on the code                     
          entered, the processing for a state or airport is performed."
