Dear GAP Support Team,
I have appended to this message an updated gap-process.el (/GAP4r4/etc/emacs) that fixes a couple of problems with GAP help mode and GAP tab completion mode in GAP 4.4.4 (and some earlier versions of GAP).
The additions I have made have a comment at the end of each line that begins ";;GEZ:"
I have deleted some lines from the original, and if you need a version with them included and marked, I will be happy to send them to you.
David Joyner has already put the changed code up on his web site.
I hope that this will be of use for other GAP users.
Sincerely,
Gary Zablackis

;; Begin update gap-process.el
;;
;; Running a GAP session in an Emacs buffer, based on comint-mode.
;;
;; Michael Smith smith at pell.anu.edu.au
;; Australian National University
;; February 1993
;;
;;! version 1.50, 15:44 Thu 22 Apr 1993
;;!
;;
;; A modification and extension of the GAP mode of Goetz Pfeiffer.
;;
;; Uses comint-mode instead of shell-mode (which means you must have the
;; comint package installed).
;;
;; Command completion is available ("TAB"). Output to separate *Completions*
;; buffer instead of GAP session.
;;
;; Help is available at any time by pressing "?". Output to *Help* buffer.
;;
;; The comint package provides command input history (with searching),
;; resend previous line etc.
;;
;; To install, put this file somewhere in your load path, preferably byte
;; compile it, and add the following line to your .emacs:
;;
;; (autoload 'gap "gap-process" "*Run GAP" t)
;;
;; You can also have GAP start up in a particular directory by setting
;; gap-directory; for example:
;;
;; (setq gap-directory "~/gap")
;;
;; To run GAP, just type "M-x gap".
;;
;; To run GAP with contents of current buffer as initial input use a prefix
;; arg, "C-u M-x gap" (this is still a bit of a hack, so use with caution).
;;
;; Note that while a GAP process is running in the *gap* buffer, the commands
;; gap-complete and gap-help can be bound to keys in other buffers to issue
;; commands to the running GAP process.
;;
;;! ----------------------------------------------------------------------
;;! v1.50 -
;;! * Fixed problem of disappearing output when point not in *gap* buffer.
;;! Also ensure that output scrolls if visible in window.
;;! v1.20 -
;;! * Allow switching to existing process buffer if it exists, also piping
;;! current buffer into it if prefix arg.
;;! v1.12 -
;;! * Included "brk>" in prompt-regexp. How could I forget this!
;;! v1.10 -
;;! * Now gap-complete-double-cols controls formatting of completions buff.
;;! v1.08 -
;;! * Fixed gap-prompt-regexp so that a > in line would not be confused.
;;! v1.07 -
;;! * Fixed cosmetic problem with *help* output. Now instead of stripping
;;! all the ^H and ^M from the output, leave it unchanged and tidy up
;;! buffer after help output has finished.
;;! v1.06 -
;;! * Fixed bug in gap-ident-around-point that caused non-word characters
;;! to end up in the extracted identifier.
;;! v1.05 -
;;! * Added C-l to call comint-previous-similar-input, which is almost
;;! the same as the GAP C-l previous input command. Moved recenter
;;! to C-c C-l to make room.
