If you are using BibTeX, you can use the following BibTeX entry

  @string{
    RWTH = "Rheinisch Westf{\accent127 a}lische
            Technische Hoch\-schule"}
  @string{
    RWTHLDFM = "Lehrstuhl D f{\accent127 u}r Mathematik,
                Rheinisch Westf{\accent127 a}lische
                Technische Hoch\-schule"}
  @string{
    RWTH-A = "Aachen, Germany"}

  @manual{Sch97,
  author        = "Martin Sch{\accent127 o}nert and others",
  title         = "{GAP} -- {Groups}, {Algorithms}, and
                   {Programming} -- version 3 release 4
