[postgis-users] ST_* versus no ST_*

Probably an obvious thing, but.....

Why would I use an ST_ fucntion versus a non ST_ function?  For example 
(in Postgis 1.3.3, I haven't had a chance to upgrade yet) there is a 
AsGeom() and a ST_AsGeom() function.  Both seem to return the same 
results.  Which one should I use?

Thanks!
