Sorry...  My fault.  I had a "max=20", which made "max?" give me:

-----------------------
Base Class:       <type 'sage.rings.integer.Integer'>
String Form:   200
Namespace:        Interactive
File:             /scratch/local/sage-4.1.2/local/lib/python2.6/site-
packages/sage/rings/integer.so
Docstring:

        The ``Integer`` class represents arbitrary precision
        integers. It derives from the ``Element`` class, so
        integers can be used as ring elements anywhere in Sage.

        Integer() interprets numbers and strings that begin with 0 as
octal
        numbers, and numbers and strings that begin with 0x as
hexadecimal
        numbers.

            The class ``Integer`` is implemented in Pyrex, as a
            wrapper of the GMP ``mpz_t`` integer type.


        EXAMPLES::

            sage: Integer(010)
            8
            sage: Integer(0x10)
            16
            sage: Integer(10)
            10
            sage: Integer('0x12')
            18
            sage: Integer('012')
            10
-----------------------

Sorry about that...

Luis
