Appeal No. 2002-1868
Application 09/059,033
portion 303 for the user to enter an S-expression, i.e., "user
commands," a talker 302, which is a window for sequentially
presenting the S-expressions inputted in the listener 303 and
values obtained by evaluating the S-expression, and a finder 305
which is a window for displaying the inputted S-expressions in
the form of icons (col. 6, lines 49-57). An example is described
based on the employee list database 2500 in Fig. 24, which
corresponds to the claimed "data file opened in the application
program." S-expressions are entered in the listener 303 and when
the carriage return (CR) key 315 is depressed, the S-expression
with an identifier ("@" plus a number) appears in the talker 302
and an icon is displayed in the finder 305 (Figs. 26 & 27;
col. 15, lines 29-52). Objects are generated in the computer
(col. 15, lines 63-65). More S-expressions are inputted,
displayed with identifiers in the talker, evaluated, and
displayed as icons (e.g., Figs. 28-46). The talker 302 maintains
the sequential history of S-expressions (commands noted by
identifiers "@__") applied to the database. The sequence of
S-expressions (commands) entered by the user and stored in the
talker 302 meets the step of "storing each of a plurality of user
commands, applied to a data file opened in the application
program, into a log file, the log file maintaining a real time
sequential history of each of said plurality of user commands."
