                    Application No. 09/070,039                                                                                                                            


                    goes to step 85 where the size of the disk drive cache used in                                                                                        
                    dealing with this page is sampled and then stored in a table of                                                                                       
                    disk drive cache values, step 86.  Correspondingly, step 87, the                                                                                      
                    size of the RAM cache is sampled and then stored in a table of                                                                                        
                    RAM cache values, step 88.  See page 13 of Appellants'                                                                                                
                    specification.  The process then loops back in which more values                                                                                      
                    are stored in the table.  The RAM cache values stored in the                                                                                          
                    above-mentioned tables for each page are averaged to a calculated                                                                                     
                    value of RAM cache used and, step 90, the disk drive cache values                                                                                     
                    stored in the above-mentioned tables for each page are averaged                                                                                       
                    to a calculated value of the disk drive used.  See pages 13 and                                                                                       
                    14 of Appellants' specification.                                                                                                                      
                              Now with respect to Figure 4, the flow chart shows how the                                                                                  
                    sizes of the disk drive cache and RAM cache calculated in a prior                                                                                     
                    session, as described in Figure 3, may be used to allocate such                                                                                       
                    caches in the next browsing session.  See page 14 of Appellants'                                                                                      
                    specification.  If a manual cache size input has not been made in                                                                                     
                    step 96, the process proceeds to step 93 to get the stored                                                                                            
                    average size value of RAM cache and disk drive cache as stored in                                                                                     
                    step 9 in Figure 3.  See page 14 of Appellants' specification.
