You're welcome! Glad that this was helpful.

This NIU-hosted copy of GAP manuals refers to some version of GAP that was 
around in 2000. At that time it was not uncommon to host mirrors of GAP 
distribution, and many places were also serving a copy GAP documentation for 
local users to help with slow connections or internet blackouts. Many places 
stopped doing this when the network became faster and reliable, so my 
conjecture would be that most of the copies of GAP manuals that may be found 
outside the main GAP website are actually outdated (until recently, GAP website 
still provided HTML version of GAP 3 manuals, and now they are only available 
in a tar.gz archive to prevent search engines pointing to GAP 3 manuals which 
may cause even more confusion trying them in GAP 4).

Anyhow, you do not need to search for the GAP Documentation in the Internet, 
since it is included in your GAP installation, and GAP provides a command-line 
functionality to search in it using the ? (question mark) operator or ?? 
(double question mark). For example, you might have tried to find the exact 
match with '?':

gap> ?IsomorphismTypeFiniteSimpleGroup    
Help: no matching entry found

and then decide to try with '??' to find all search index entries that contain 
a given substring, like here:


gap> ??IsomorphismType                 
Help: several entries match this topic - type ?2 to get match [2]

[1] Reference: IsomorphismTypeInfoFiniteSimpleGroup
[2] Reference: IsomorphismTypeInfoFiniteSimpleGroup (for a group)
[3] Reference: IsomorphismTypeInfoFiniteSimpleGroup (for a group order)
[4] Reference: IsomorphismTypeInfoFiniteSimpleGroup (for a character table)


or like here:


gap> ??FiniteSimpleGroup               
Help: several entries match this topic - type ?2 to get match [2]

[1] Reference: IsomorphismTypeInfoFiniteSimpleGroup
[2] Reference: IsomorphismTypeInfoFiniteSimpleGroup (for a group)
[3] Reference: IsomorphismTypeInfoFiniteSimpleGroup (for a group order)
[4] Reference: IsomorphismTypeInfoFiniteSimpleGroup (for a character table)


Now you may type ?1 to see the 1st entry, etc. Also, the command SetHelpViewer 
(you may try to see its description by entering ?SetHelpViewer) can be used to 
use nicer display methods for the online help (for example, I normally set the 
viewer to my preferred HTML browser). 

Furthermore, if you wish to use the external search engine, then the GAP 
website offers its own search tool at http://www.gap-system.org/search.html. 
Using it, you may e.g. search only in Gap Forum Archives or in the Gap 4 
Manual. Also, you may ask Google to search only within the GAP website by 
adding "site:www.gap-system.org" in the search form after your search input.

Could this be a typo? I can't read it, but page two of the PDF file has 
timestamp 02/08/16 and this can't be 2016 yet. And also 
http://sci.kj.yamagata-u.ac.jp/~waki/jpn/gap_docs/ says this file is from 2003. 

We could add a link to this document to the page 
http://www.gap-system.org/Doc/Teaching/teaching.html (which already lists 
another teaching material in Japanese) if someone will suggest a description. 
It seems that most of examples still will work.

I think too - GAPDoc-based manuals have their recognisable style. Using Unicode 
fonts, in principle one should be able to create GAPDoc-based documents in 
Japanese.
