  [33X[0;0YStarts  a  GAP  session as a child process and returns a stream to the child
  process.  If  no  argument is given then the child process is created on the
  local     machine;     otherwise     the    argument    should    be:    (1)

  been  configured  to  require  no  password  from  the  user; (2) [22Xstr[122X=["-m",
