   Did you mean to change just that instance of (say) the enumerate
   environment, yielding a new environment to be used just once? Or did you
   intend to change all enumerates, ie change the definition of \enumerate? Or
   even, all lists, by changing a parameter like \itemsep? That's what I mean
   by a loss of information in the DVI: each of these three changes would have
   to be expressed in the same way.

No! You think I'm trying to force you to always use the wysiwyg
window. I'm not. If you want to change all enumerates you'd do it in
the traditional mode window, by using \renewenvironment. If you want
to change an instance of an environment you might want to use
\newenvironment{myenumerate}. If you want to adjust a single item in
an itemized list, you might want to add some glue or space before or
after. You could then do in the window of your choice!

Perhaps this is not a good idea at all for environments. Perhaps it is
for paragraphs.
