                                  DECISION ON APPEAL                                  
               This is a decision on appeal from the Examiner’s final                 
          rejection of claims 1-15, which are all of the claims pending in            
          this application.                                                           
               We reverse.                                                            
                                     BACKGROUND                                       
               Appellants’ invention is directed to scrolling multiple                
          frames that make up a web page display.  According to Appellants,           
          using conventional mechanical scrolling devices creates ambiguity
