          Application 09/079,054                                                       
          selecting a light whose effect is to be modified, displaying a               
          first menu of possible adjustment types based on said light that             
          is selected, and responsive to selection of one of said                      
          adjustment types to display a second menu of options within said             
          adjustment type.                                                             
                                 The Taylor reference                                  
               7.   Taylor describes a modeling and control system for                 
          creating lighting designs off-line and for controlling the on-               
          line operation of the lighting system (Taylor, abstract, lines 1-            
          3).                                                                          
               8.  Taylor describes that the modeling system functions to              
          store characteristics of each of the lighting instruments,                   
          including the location of the lights and parameter data                      
          describing the values of the lighting parameters.  (Taylor, col.             
          33, lines 42-51, col. 35, lines 13-19).                                      
               9.  Taylor describes that the modeling system can be                    
          replaced by a 3-D display, in which the user is represented by a             
          “virtual self.”  (Taylor, col. 32, lines 45-49).                             
               10.  The user can “pick up” and “manipulate” light beams in             
          the model.  (Taylor, col. 32, lines 57-64).                                  
               11.  Taylor further describes that the user can control the             
          lights and lighting effects.  The user can also write, store and             
          recall cues.  (Taylor, col. 32 line 65 - col. 33, line 3).
