                                                DECISION ON APPEAL                                                     
                     This is a decision on appeal from the examiner's final rejection of claims 2-6 and                
             13.  Claim 12 stands allowed and claim 7 stands objected to as depending from a                           
             rejected base claim.  Claims 8-11, the only other claims pending in this application,                     
             stand withdrawn as being directed to a non-elected species.                                               
                     We REVERSE.
