-In OpenXM, a distributed computation is done as follows:
-\begin{enumerate}

-\item The server does some work according to the request.
-\item The client requests to send data to the server.

 For example, in case of SM\_executeFunction, some data are popped from

 We explain an implementation of handling OX messages.
 For example, the asir command {\tt ox\_push\_cmo(P,1)}
-(push integer $1$ to the server $P$)
+(push integer $1$ onto the server $P$)
