          Appeal No. 2000-0962                                                        
          Application 08/885,801                                                      


          in Fitzpatrick constitutes a parsing of the text or data to                 
          identify one or more network addresses [answer, page 7].                    
          This argument appears to hinge on the definition of                         
          parsing.  We agree with the examiner that the step of reading               
          text and numbers in Fitzpatrick constitutes a parsing of the                
          items of data to identify one or more network addresses.                    
          Therefore, we sustain the rejection of claim 4.                             
          With respect to claim 8, appellant argues that                              
          Fitzpatrick teaches to store a single frame when a user issues a            
          command and not more than one sequential frame [brief, page 7].             
          The examiner responds by explaining how sequential frames are               
          disclosed by Fitzpatrick [answer, page 8].  We agree with the               
          examiner for reasons explained by the examiner in the answer.               
          Therefore, we sustain the rejection of claim 8.                             
          With respect to claim 13, appellant makes the same                          
          argument we considered above with respect to claim 2.  Therefore,           
          we sustain the rejection of claim 13 for the same reasons                   
          discussed above.                                                            
          With respect to claim 14, appellant argues that                             
          Fitzpatrick does not teach or suggest that the apparatus                    
          downloads, uses or otherwise accesses the information at the                
          other site [brief, page 8].  The examiner responds by explaining            

                                          6
