Using  Maple 2015 (X86 64 LINUX) much of the help isn't helpful.
For example:
> ?Beta
No exact matches found, please try one of the following (?#number):
 1. Beta
 2. beta
.....
> ?#1
Beta - Beta function


Calling Sequence

  Beta(x,       Beta(x,y)                                                      
  y)                                                                           


Parameters

 x   -   algebraic expression                                                  

 y   -   algebraic expression                                                  


Description

o The Beta(x,y) function (Beta function) is defined as follows:



o At all points (x,y) where x and y are positive integers, the above 
  definition is equivalent to:


.....

My problem: neither definition of Beta(x,y) appears on the screen!
