          Appeal No. 2002-1868                                                         
          Application 09/059,033                                                       

          transferring linked macro of log files's command based on user's             
          command in term of real time factor" (FR4).                                  
               Appellant argues that "[w]hile arguable Yuasa teaches some              
          type of storing of commands and conventional macro generation,               
          Yuasa does not teach the combination of storing commands in a log            
          file and transferring the commands under user control from a log             
          file to a macro" (Br6-7) and that the examiner admits that Yuasa             
          does not describe transferring commands under user control (Br7).            
          It is argued that Dwyer's "operator interaction" only launches               
          macro functions and does not move commands from a log file into a            
          macro file (Br7).  It is argued that the examiner's reliance on              
          Clark for teaching a log file maintaining a real-time sequential             
          history of user commands is unreasonable because storing policy              
          data in telecommunications networks would not lead one to provide            
          a log file maintaining a real-time sequence of user commands for             
          the claimed purpose of transferring commands under user control              
          to the macro file (Br7).  Appellant argues that the rejection                
          fails to provide motivation for combining the references to                  
          render obvious the claimed invention (Br7-8).                                
               The examiner expands on the teachings of the references                 
          (EA18-22), but we do not consider these responses to address                 
          appellant's arguments.                                                       
               Dwyer and Clark do not support the examiner's rejection.                
          Dwyer discloses a system and method for acquiring and archiving
