Hi..

Here's an easy one (but I can't get it...)

I want the enumerate in LaTeX to make item numbers like:

a.
b.
c.

instead of with numbers. The manual suggests that I might accomplish this using
\renewcommand. So I tried:

\renewcommand{\labelitemi}{\alph{enumi}}

but got blanks instead of item numbers. I tired some other not-so-elegant stuff
to, but to no avail. How can I get LaTeX to do this?

(I am using OzTeX 1.3 if that matters)

Thanks..
