hello.  Mac osx 10.7.3, sage-5.0 precompiled.

In the notebook, if I do this:

var('a')
var('b')
assume(a>0)
assume(b>0)
integrate(x^(a-1)*(1-x)^(b-1),x,0,1)



the typeset answer comes back as "B(a,b)".

But typing "B?" returns "no object B currently defined".

Of course, B(.,.) is the beta function and "beta?" gives the help page.  But
it is potentially very confusing to be given an answer in terms of a
function (B) which
(apparently) is not documented.  Couldn't sage somehow redirect the user
to the help page for beta, when they type "B?"?

Best wishes

Robin
