In that case, you might want to tell us a bit more about what it is that you want to achieve, with less artificial examples. > gap? G:=SymmetricGroup([1..10]); This command works as you typed it, and will return a symmetric group on the points 1 to 10. You can also specify other (integer) sets to get a symmetric group acting on those: G:=SymmetricGroup([5,7,12]); > > etc. > (and especially with 100 instead of 10 and so.) G1 := CyclicGroup(IsPermGroup,100); G2 := SymmetricGroup(100); Again, that's only for the specific case you asked. Dan, Alexander and Max N. already gave some easily working examples as to how to tackle the general case.
