Hello GAP Forum,
The command
<COMMAND>
StructureDescription(DirectProduct(CyclicGroup(5),SymmetricGroup(4)));
</COMMAND>
generated the following response:
<RESPONSE>
gap> StructureDescription(DirectProduct(CyclicGroup(5),SymmetricGroup(4)));
#I default `IsGeneratorsOfMagmaWithInverses' method returns `true' for
[ Tuple( [ f1, () ] ) ]
#I default `IsGeneratorsOfMagmaWithInverses' method returns `true' for
[ Tuple( [ <identity> of ..., (1,2,3,4) ] ) ]
#I default `IsGeneratorsOfMagmaWithInverses' method returns `true' for

I have never seen such a response from GAP. I use GAP mainly for
"educational algebra" i.e.: only very small, known groups - Is this
expected GAP behaviour?? If so how should I interpret the message?
Thanks in advance for an answer to my question.
Kind Regards,
