The following does not seem to work:
ex1:=ABC; asym(_, $A,B,C$);
Also with indices,
ex1:= A_{ab} C_{d}; asym(_, $_{a}, _{b}, _{d}$);
It does if you write the product A B C with spaces, and add the required dollar signs, so
A B C
ex:= A B C; asym(_, $A, B, C$);
Ditto for indices; do not write A_{ab} but use A_{a b}:
A_{ab}
A_{a b}
ex:= A_{a b} C_{d}; asym(_, $_{a}, _{b}, _{d}$);
