First I'll begin by apologising if this is not where I'm supposed to place such queries. Should it go to support instead?

I'm trying to construct a wreath product in such a way I can find my standard generators very easily.

For example, I've just tried:

A := CyclicGroup(3);
B := CyclicGroup(9);
W := WreathProduct(A,B)

which all seems fine... but how do I get hold of my favourite generators for this wreath product? (i.e., an element in the base group and an element generating my top group).

As a more general comment, is there anywhere where I one has a page containing the commands to construct all things one might meet in, say, an advanced undergraduate course on group theory? It would be extremely helpful if such a page existed as I find it takes a long time to find the function I'm after.

Yours,
Martyn
