  @expr{x} and @expr{x^2} may appear in rational functions being
  integrated.  Finally, rational functions involving trigonometric or
  hyperbolic functions can be integrated.
+ 
+ With an argument (@kbd{C-u a i}), this command will compute the definite
+ integral of the expression on top of the stack.  In this case, the
+ command will again prompt for an integration variable, then prompt for a
+ lower limit and an upper limit.

  If you use the @code{integ} function directly in an algebraic formula,
