Dear GAP forum,

for dealing with primitive permutation groups with the help of GAP it is
important to have an efficient way to implement in GAP the action of
degree m^k of the natural wreath product
WreathProduct(Sym(m),Sym(k),IdendityMapping(Sym(k))),
usually called "product action" (I think "power action" is a more appropriate
name). Is it possible to avoid complicated and complex computations in
defining this action?

I would be grateful for any useful advice, W. Knapp
