I'm working on a problem in Mood, Graybill and Boes that asks to find the
relationship between the F and Beta distributions.  The problem asks:  If 
X has an F distribution with m and n degrees of freedom, show that
 
		        mX/n
		 W =   -------       has a Beta distribution.
		      1 + mX/n

Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
