          Application No. 08/526,743                                                  

          prices that exist if different quantities are ordered (col. 7,              
          lines 5-9).                                                                 
               In figures 5A and 5B, Greulich discloses that upon selection           
          of the variable "form type," such as multipart form 32, a graphic           
          display 44 is provided that overlays screen 40, but does not                
          completely obscure the first set of options 43 (col. 7, lines 22-           
          35).  On graphic display 44 are a second set of options 45; a               
          third set of options 46, and a fourth set of options 47.  As seen           
          in figures 5A and 5B, upon selection of a variable, any necessary           
          changes in other variables associated with the selected variable            
          are automatically depicted; see page width 57 and the depiction             
          of three optional page lengths 57' (figure 5B; col. 8, lines 13-            
          26, and col. 10, lines 45-47), so that the customer will know               
          which additional options are available in view of the option                
          selected. (col. 7, line 38 - col. 8, line 25).                              
               From these portions of the disclosure of Greulich, we find             
          that a price quote is initially provided after the parameters               
          have been selected.  However, as noted by the examiner, Greulich            
          additionally discloses that orders can be saved and opened.  In             
          addition, a previously changed file (figure 6) can be saved.  We            
          find that as shown in figures 9W and 9X, the customer can select            
          "SAVE" or "SAVE AS" files and overwrite existing files.  In
