The -N option was used in GAP 4.4 to suppress the reading of any existing 
completion files. The mechanism of using completion files has been withdrawn
since GAP 4.5, so this option became undocumented. Thanks for pointing out
on these relic references to the -N option - we should clean them up.

Thus, I suppose that your workspace works fine. 

Best wishes,
Alexander
