Dear Alexander Hulpke, Although the command "Q:=FactorCosetAction(P,u);" takes some time, your method works fine and I could get the character table of "Pr". Thank you very much for answering. Your answer is both educational and instructive.
Best, Shunsuke P.S. I could also get the character table of PreImage(h,WreathProduct(Normalizer(SymmetricGroup(5),SylowSubgroup(SymmetricGroup(5),5)),SymmetricGroup(2))); by your method. Thank you again.
