Hello, I found that GAP <http://www.gap-system.org> document the same problems.

Here the data I gathered from the GAP documentation:

gap4r3/INSTALL

   The ^-key cannot be entered.
          This is a problem if you are running a keyboard driver for some
          non-english languages. These drivers catch the ^ character to
          produce the French circumflex accent and do not pass it
          properly to GAP. No fix is known.
   Cut and Paste does not work
          See http://www.gap-system.org/Info4/windows.html for a remedy.
 
If you manage to make the Cut and Paste work with gp, please let us know!

Cheers,
Bill.
