                    Application No. 09/019,137                                                                                                                            


                    value of "mdisp" from the beginning of the data structure of the                                                                                      
                    introducing class.  Thus, the pointer of Gray references the data                                                                                     
                    structure and points into the data structure such that the                                                                                            
                    point-to location is offset by the value of the pointer from a                                                                                        
                    base address/location of the data structure and not the                                                                                               
                    address/location of the pointer.  Therefore, we find that Gray                                                                                        
                    does not teach all the limitations claimed by the Appellant.                                                                                          
                              In view of the foregoing, we will not sustain the Examiner's
