Look at the orthopoly source; example:

(%i1) load(orthopoly);
(%o1) C:/PROGRA~1/MAXIMA~2.0/share/maxima/5.11.0
/share/orthopoly/orthopoly.o
(%i2) jacobi_p(a,b,c,x);
       (b, c)
(%o2)                           P    (x)
       a
(%i3)

(Maybe the spacing is messed up -- if so, try it for yourself.)
