I have a list environment where each \item's label is printed
alphabetically, as in

(a) ...
(b) ...
(c) ....

This is defined by:

\newcounter{mylist}
\newenvironment{mylist}[1]{\begin{list}%
{(\alph{mylist})\hfill}{\usecounter{mylist}....

It is posible to put a \label in the list items, but when I do a \ref in
another place it appears as decimal.  Is there a way to make it print also
as alph in the \ref'ing place?

Thanks,
  iddo
