See this thread. The solution suggested by Steve Linton below does *not* work exactly as suggested.
Forwarded conversation Subject: [sage-support] Documentation with several entries ------------------------ From: Hector Villafuerte <hectorvd@gmail.com> Date: Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 5:12 PM To: sage-support@googlegroups.com Hi, while trying this: sage: gap.Factorization? I got this... Type: <class 'sage.interfaces.gap.GapFunction'> Definition: gap.Factorization( [noargspec] ) Docstring: Help: several entries match this topic - type ?2 to get match [2] [1] Reference: factorization [2] Reference: Factorization Which I can't get to work in either the Notebook or the command line. Any ideas?

Of course, you can just plead that you work on the gap interface almost 2.5 years ago and remember nothing :-) -- William Stein Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Washington http://wstein.org ---------- From: Steve Linton <sal@cs.st-and.ac.uk> Date: Wed, Apr 23, 2008 at 8:34 AM To: William Stein <wstein@gmail.com> gap.2? might just work. You simply need to send GAP ?2 or HELP("2"); The message is being generated from HELP_SHOW_MATCHES in lib/helpbase.gi (line 713). I dare say we could move that message to a global variable so that you could change it to "type gap.2? ...." in a future release.
