Dear David,

this is because the name 'OnRightCosets' is (unfortunately) misleading.
'OnRightCosets' expects a set $S$ and an element $g$ and returns $Sg$.
For cosets you should use 'OnRight'.

gap> a := TwoGroup( 256, 3678 );
Group( a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8 )
gap> b := Subgroup( a, [a.1^2,a.2^2,a.3^2] );
Subgroup( Group( a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8 ), [ a4*a5*a6, a4*a5, a4 ] )
gap> g := Operation( a, Cosets(a,b), OnRight );
Group( ( 1,17)( 2,18)( 3,19)( 4,20)( 5,21, 8,24)( 6,22, 7,23)( 9,25,11,27)
(10,26,12,28)(13,29,14,30)(15,31,16,32), ( 1, 9)( 2,10)( 3,11)( 4,12)

DS> (BTW, is this forum broken? I have not received any messages in

We do have some problems with our list server.
