         Appeal No. 2006-1766                                                       
         Application No. 09/773,090                                                 
                                                                                   
         able to interact with text displayed on display 108.                       
         Accordingly, assert appellants, since display 108 only appears to          
         provide prompts or information to a user, and there is no                  
         component that allows the user to interact with display 108,               
         Karidis does not disclose a second text editing unit having a              
         “second screen” upon which text may be displayed, and “a second            
         manual actuator” by means of which a user is able “to interact             
         with text displayed on the second screen,” as required by the              
         language of claim 1.                                                       
              Moreover, appellants argue that Kashiwagi does not make up            
         for the admitted deficiency of Karidis in failing to disclose or           
         suggest that text selected from a first document displayed on one          
         unit is to be inserted directly at a predetermined location in a           
         document displayed on the other unit.  In particular, appellants           
         contend that in each of the twelve embodiments described in                
         Kashiwagi, a user is allowed to modify a document through the use
