          Appeal No. 2001-2003                                                        
          Application 08/939,185                                                      


          is an additional source other than the representative programming           
          guide information from the cable company such as is discussed at            
          the bottom of specification page 1 on appeal, which was stated              
          not to exist in the prior art.  This is discussed at column 9,              
          lines 27 through 50, of Lopresti.                                           
               In an additional context, the showing in Figure 7 of the               
          various categories or sources associated with the command bar 32            
          further include library, games, shopping and I-mail.  These are             
          in part depicted in Figures 15-17.  The various textual type                
          information shown in association with the command bar and the               
          various textual information associated with any one of these                
          categories from command bar 32 depicted in Figures 15-17, for               
          example, have access to second sources of information correlated            
          to the selection made from the various icons depicted in these              
          figures.  These are clearly multimedia identifiers.  Note the               
          discussion at columns 10 and 11 of Lopresti.  Although not shown            
          in any figure, the capability of the video library on the command           
          bar 32 is discussed in the context of video on demand, which                
          clearly would be an additional different source than the textual            
          information represented in the selection of the library itself.             
          Additionally, selected archival event data may also be retrieved
