This must be simple, but my stupid brain doesn't seem to be able to find 
it.

So, how do you do it?

i have a complex expression of z and n, but there exists a limit as n 
goes to infinity if 0<z<1. how do i ask mathematica to do it? when i am 
giving substitution values like /.z->.4 or .8 it calculates the limit in 
a ziffy.

thanks in advance for your help.
