to yield a set of queries having constraints satisfied by an
event wherein updates from a database are dispatched such as a
stock quote (answer, page 4).
A review of Risberg reveals that the reference relates to a
program application whereby a user, using a collection of layout
tools, can create an application to be displayed.
From our review of Risberg, we find that Risberg discloses a
program whereby a user, using a collection of layout tools may
define an active document (Risberg, col. 2, lines 27-31). The
layout, which will appear on all sheets, will include one to four
margins, headers or footers with text, a common button or a set
of buttons that will display objects with user programmable text
labels, actuated by push buttons (col. 2, lines 15-22). A button
tool can be used to create display objects that will execute
scripted actions when the button is pushed. The scripted actions
are entered by the user in whatever sequence desired (col. 4,
lines 4-7).
From the teachings of Risberg, we find that although Risberg
refers to queries and scripts, that in Risberg, the application
refers to simple queries and to scripts that are executable
commands1 (col. 4, lines 4-8).
