A polynomial question

I was doing some algebra relating to a proof by induction, and I had a
polynomial containing terms of the form

k(b+1)^(k-1)*x

where b is a constant.  I wanted to multiply through by x(b+1) or similar.
How to I tell Axiom that b is a constant, k is a positive integer, and x is
the polynomial's variable?  I tried setting the type to UP(x,POLY INT), but
I just got Expression Integer instead.  This didn't help, as I wanted to
perform a monicDivide (w.r.t. x) later on.

Thanks,
Alasdair
