            Appeal No. 2004-2271                                                                      
            Application No. 09/731,650                                                                

                  With respect to dependent claim 15, Appellants argue at page                        
            8 of the brief, “[t]his passage of the Block disclosure is silent                         
            as to . . . the data set which was stored by a downloaded,                                
            client-side script for producing tables of dynamic size according                         
            to the screen display capabilities of the client device.”  We                             
            have reviewed claim 15 and find no such limitation in the claim.                          
            We find that this argument is not commensurate in scope with                              
            claim 15 and is unpersuasive for that reason.                                             
                  Therefore, we will sustain the Examiner’s rejection under                           
            35 U.S.C. § 102.                                                                          

                                             Other Issues                                             
                  Should there be further prosecution of this or a continuing                         
            application, we highly recommend that a search be made of DOS                             
            based database data entry screen processes.  To provide more                              
            efficient operation the current invention dynamically parses data                         
            entry into a sequence of windows each of which is fully shown on                          
            the display.  Due to hardware display limitations, older DOS                              
            programs were forced to parse data entry into a sequence of                               
            windows each of which was fully shown on the display.  The open                           
            question being, did these DOS programs dynamically parse the data                         
            entry based on a script?  We leave it to the Examiner to address                          
            this issue.                                                                               
                                                  12
