          Appeal No. 1998-3126                                           17           
          Application No. 08/479,569                                                  
               We note that the examiner does not rely upon Microsoft alone           
          for a teaching of triggering help from a video teleconferencing             
          application window.  Ludwig is relied upon for a teaching of                
          video teleconferencing.  Nor does the examiner rely upon                    
          Microsoft for the feature of providing audio/video multimedia               
          help as required by claim 29.  As discussed, supra, with respect            
          to claim 54, Reed suggests this feature.  In addition, we are not           
          persuaded by appellants' assertion that Microsoft does not                  
          separate data files associated with selectable topics for the               
          reasons discussed, supra, with respect to claim 56.                         
               However, we find that none of the references are directed to           
          a multimedia documentation system for a video teleconferencing              
          workstation.  Nor do we find any teaching or suggestion for the             
          claimed video teleconferencing documentation function.  We agree            
          with appellants (brief, page 11) that Ludwig does not mention a             
          particular user interface scheme.  Accordingly, we agree with               
          appellants (reply brief, pages 2 and 3) that the references fail            
          to suggest triggering audio and video documentation help from a             
          video teleconference application window.  We find that the
