Hi. In response to the the questions about enumerated lists I had a couple of
good responses.  I realised the original question was probably too terse.  I
just didn't want to bore EVERYBODY...  We need to crossreference things and kep
track of questions, and like I said, everyone has their own idea on how
questions should look.  Certainly we use multiple choice only rarely, but they
still needed effort.  Teh second code source below did what we were after. 
When we'd first done it (as the contributor mentioned straight out of the book)
the .aux files were wrong (which made cross referencing out of the question). 
After the suggestion was emailed I spent a while tracking the problem down to a
.sty file that had been done years ago for another project (yeah, I was the
idiot who hadn't debugged the original --- it was a hack that became gospel!!).
Sorry to have taken up your time, and thanks again!!!

Chris...
