But how can I see the relations of an ag group G that I read in from
e.g. the library of solvable groups or the library of 2-groups?
I want to find out how the generators G.1, ... correspond to the ones
in a presentation of G I have in another list of solvable groups,
or to correspond them to another description of G as e.g.
a semidirect product, or some other extension.

P.S. Is there a function to test for isomorphism between two
ag groups? This would maybe solve my problem, but I
did not find such a function. Moreover this functions
should also provide an isomorphism mapping generators
of one group to as short as possible expressions in
the generators of the second group.
P.P.S What I am doing now is guessing the correspondance and
verifying the relations I know, but this is rather
tedious.
