1.  @section{hogehoge} causes a trouble for automatic generation of
    help files, so @section{hogehoge} is corrected to @section hogehoge.
2.  sm1_reduction(A|proc=P) is added.  It computes the nornal form
    of a given polynomial.  I'm now using a new feature of asir to
    write this function.
    We can give arguments to user defined
    functions by keywords; the syntax is as follows:
       function_hogehoge(A,B,... | key1=val1, key2=val2, ...)
       def function_hogehoge(A,B,...) {
          K1 = getopt(key1);
          if (type(K1) == -1) {
             /* set the default value */
       ......
    sm1_reduction() also looks for ox_sm1 server automatically, and
    if there is no server, it starts the server. So, users need not
    specify the sever id.

@section Introduction

The computer algebra system
@code{asir}
can use servers, which support the @code{OpenXM} protocols,
as plugin modules.
The interface functions to call these servers
are read by loading the file @file{xm}.
This document explains these interface functions for @code{asir}.

As to technical details on the @code{OpenXM} protocols,
see @file{openxxx.tex} at
@file{$(OpenXM_HOME)/src/kxx}.

Enjoy mathematics on your computer.
