Version 1.3.1  (2001-08-31)

help(dbinom)

currently says
                  p(x) = Choose(n,x) p^x (1-p)^(n-x)

Better would be
                  p(x) = choose(n,x) p^x (1-p)^(n-x)
since "choose" with lower case is the function name.

Even better would be
                  p(x) = choose(n,x) * p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)
because the user could pick up the right-hand-side and execute it.
