+<h2>tao_imr Usage</h2>
+
+<p>The usage of tao_imr is as follows:</p>
+
+<p><code><b>tao_imr </b>[<a href="../Options.html">ORB options</a>] <a href="#commands">command</a>
+[command-arguments]</code></p>
+
+<p><i>ORB_options</i> is the ORB options to be given. This is where
+options like &quot;-ORBInitRef ImplRepoService=file://implrepo.ior&quot; would be placed.
+<i>command </i>is one of the supported commands like add, remove, etc. <i>command-arguments</i>
+are dependent on the command used. For example, <i>add </i>will need a
+server name for registration, but list does not necessarily need any arguments.</p>
+
+<hr>
+
+<h3><a name="examples">Examples</a></h3>
+<p>There is a file in the current directory name <i>implrepo.ior</i> that
+contains the IOR of the Implementation Repository. The server executable
+is called <i>airplane.exe</i> and the POA name used by the object is <i>plane</i>.
+The server needs the -i option to use the IMR and the IOR of the IMR. So the
+command would be:</p>
+
+<p><code>tao_imr -ORBInitRef ImplRepoService=file://implrepo.ior add plane -c &quot;airplane.exe
+-i file://implrepo.ior&quot;</code></p>
+
+<p><code>And if you want to later remove that server from the IMR:</code></p>
+
+<p><code>tao_imr -ORBInitRef ImplRepoService=file://implrepo.ior remove plane</code></p>
+
+<p>Or if you wanted to update the entry to have a working directory of
+C:\airplane\.</p>
+
+<p><code>tao_imr -ORBInitRef ImplRepoService=file://implrepo.ior update plane -w
+&quot;C:\airplane\&quot;</code></p>
