error with help(notebook)

I would read the notebook help but it fails:

sage: help (notebook)

I would read the notebook help but it fails:

sage: help (notebook)

This is in fact expected.  Try

sage: notebook?

for what you most likely want.  Or, 

sage: import sagenb

sage: help(sagenb.notebook)

this is because `help` needs a Python module, not just a command.   In general, the ? syntax is the way to go for help - see e.g. http://sagemath.org/doc/prep/Intro-Tutorial.html#help-inside-sage for more examples.  Good luck!
