          Application No. 09/018,931                                                  


          claim 13 is grouped with claim 18 and defines similar subject               
          matter, we will not sustain the rejection of claim 13.                      
          The Rejection under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e)                                      
          Claims 10, 15 and 22                                                        
          We will not sustain the rejection of these claims because                   
          Dazey simply has not been shown to teach that his help                      
          information displays instructions for enabling a control                    
          option in the event it is disabled and that the help                        
          information displays why the control option is noteworthy                   
          (cautionary) in the event the control option is enabled.                    
          Summary

          and 23 is sustained.                                                        
          The rejection of claims 3-6, 10, 13, 15, 17, 18 and 22 is                   
          reversed.                                                                   
          No time period for taking any subsequent action in                          
          connection with this appeal may be extended under 37 CFR                    
          § 1.136(a).
