In this situation, the GAP help system uses a pager
that is apparently not as intuitive as it was intended.
One entry is selected,
you can move the selection up/down in the list of choices
via the up/down arrow keys,
and you can show the help for the selected entry by hitting the <Return> key.
Entering 'q' takes you back to the GAP prompt.

This is a bit surprising.
The text in question belongs to the help about 'quit'
from the GAP package ITC;
the list of choices should contain also entries for 'quit'
from the GAP Tutorial and for 'QUIT' from the Reference Manual.
All the best
