Hi Dirk,

I've now included api.txt in the Data Representation chapter as a node
called `Unpacking the SCM type'.  It still needs a little more
integration, as material on, say, SCM_IMP, is now in more than one
place in this chapter.  But all the material that was in api.txt is
now in this node (and its subnodes).  Could you take a brief look just
to review?  If you are happy with it, I'd like to remove api.txt from
CVS, to avoid the risk that someone updates api.txt rather than the
reference manual version.

Many thanks,
        Neil
