Thus I post my response here: Could you e-mail me so I can figure out the path?
To David Carlisle,
(Thanks for your detailed message.)
1. When I sent in my post to comp.text.tex, I had forgotten that
I had long ago separated the comment section from
enumerate.sty and put it elsewhere. (You had suggested this course of
action in the preamble.) Unfortunately, the editor that I used to do
this, I just discovered today, just lopped off the very last indented
line of the file. The resulting style file still formatted my
lists but it labelled all items G or VII (!!). Thus, it was hard
to tell that this wasn't an error in the style file. I have just fixed it.
2. I have tried to get doc.sty last week. On Saturday, someone responded
to my where are you post and told me where in Stuttgart. BUT, it seems
that getting this working requires a lot of time and patience. For instance,
I do not have MULTICOLUMN, which may or may not be needed. The readme file
seems to indicate not, but when I went through the whole shabang, and asked
it to latex the key documents as outlined, my NeXT (purchased August 1991)
responded with
! Obsolete LaTeX release (older than Dec.91).
YET this is the new version, according toyour note, of DOC. To add to the
problems, files need to be put in MAKEINDEX --- perhaps another huge
file that I must get and figure out what to do with it.
What the uninitiated --- as myself --- need is an unabridged account of exactly which files are needed, where they are, and any other warnings
as may seem fit. I can't for now see myself installing all of this
because I just don't know the bottom line: WHAT files do I need?
Why am I getting errors? In what order do I install the files?
I imagine I could experiment a while trying to learn the answers. If you
have any control over instructions given on these matters, perhaps you
might take this into account.

PS The enumerate.sty works very well now!
