`(Currently Amended) A method of controlling a receiver station,
`
`comprising the steps of:
`
`receiving a multichannel transmission, said multichannel transmission
`
`including one or more control signals that designates programming, each control
`
`signal comprising at least an information segment and an execution segment,
`
`and a series of processor code modules;
`
`selecting a portion of said multichannel transmission;
`
`assembling said series of processor code modules into executable code
`
`defining a plurality of signaling routines;
`
`executing said executable code to program said receiver station to select
`
`a signaling routine from said plurality of signaling routines;
`
`processing said selected portion to extract information about said one or
`
`more control signals in accordance with a said signaling routine protoeol selected
`
`from a said plurality of variable signaling protoeols routines;
`
`locating or identifying said one or more control signals based on said step
`
`of processing said selected portion;
`
`eontrolling said reeeiver station to reeeive, proeess, or present said
`
`programming based on said one or more eontrol signals.
`
`receiving said programming;
`
`processing said one or more control signals to select or generate
`
`information to supplement or complete said programming;
`
`presenting said programming and said selected or generated information.

`
`(Previously Presented) The method of claim 96, wherein said receiver
`
`station locates or identifies one or more of said one or more control signals according to
`
`a varying pattern of timing, said method further comprising the step of programming
`
`said receiver station to locate or identify said one or more of said one or more control
`
`signals according to said pattern of timing.

`(Previously Presented) A method of controlling a receiver station,
`
`comprising the steps of:
`
`selecting a portion of a multichannel broadcast or cablecast transmission,
`
`said multichannel broadcast or cablecast transmission including one or more
`
`control signals, each control signal comprising at least an information segment
`
`and an execution segment and a series of processor code modules;
`
`assembling said series of processor code modules into executable code
`
`defining a plurality of variable signaling routines;
`
`executing said executable code to program said receiver station to select
`
`a variable signaling routine from said plurality of variable signaling routines;
`
`processing said selected portion to extract information about said one or
`
`more control signals in accordance with said variable signaling routine selected
`
`from said plurality of variable signaling routines;
`
`locating or identifying said one or more control signals based on said step
`
`of processing said selected portion;
