Just to give an example that I am familiar with, suppose the group in question were M itself. Then, NumberConjugacyClasses should yield 10, because the 48 elements in M yield 10 conjugacy classes under M-conjugation. If anybody who has GAP also has defined M, you might give it a try. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Robert G.
