[GAP Forum] parabolic and Borel subgroups

[John McDermott]

Dear Forum,

Last week, a message with the subject line

[GAP Forum] Re: Forum Digest, Vol 12, Issue 4

was sent to the Forum. This message included by accident an entire 
Forum mailing list digest, so was a little too long to be easy to read. 
To clarify, the relevant part of that message is below.

John.
