    Recent studies of soft X-ray {\it ROSAT} spectra of AGN reveal com-  
    plexity, yet show a surprising uniformity of shape, which is uncor-  
    related with luminosity, and thus is suggestive of atomic processes. 
    While ionized absorption sufficiently describes these low resolution 
    spectra, we consider an alternative scenario, which includes         
    reflection/reprocessing of X-rayradiation by partly ionized,         
    optically thick medium.  We propose to test this scenario (& validate
    it against an ionized absorber model) with a 20 ks {\it ASCA} obser- 
    vation of a bright Seyfert 1 galaxy     ESO 141-G55, where spectral  
    structure was already observed in a lowerenergy resoluton (ROSAT)    
    X-ray spectra.
