Question:Cannot find "Inert-like" command in manual for tensors

metric ricci physics tensor

Let's say we enter an arbitrary metric with "Setup" in maple.

Also suppose the metric is a vacuum solution and therefore the Ricci tensor R[alpha,beta]=0

As soon as I enter the metric, maple will evaluate the Ricci tenso when I type R[alpha,beta] and equates it to zero.

What is the command to rather show the the equations that makes up the Ricci tensor for this metric and prevent Maple  from evaluating the equation.

This must be easy, but I just cannot find it in the manual. Must be simple to switch between displaying the constraint equation as calculated for say R[alpha,beta] from the metric and evaluating the equation.
