Hello,

I have  been using  LaTeX  for few   months and  I have problems  with
writing  linguistics examples.   I would like  them  to  be  numbered,
labelled, and displayed as follow:

(1) a. Bla, bla, bla...
    b. Bla, bla, bla...
    c. Bla, bla, bla...

I've tried a \newtheorem environment,  but it's too  constrained.  But
\newenvironment doesn't allow the use  of \label and \ref. I've hacked
something I'm not very proud of. (By the way, I've  got another reason
not to be satisfied: the  number is centered,  and I want it to appear
on the first line.)  I`m looking for a more elegant solution.

Thanks.

%My solution:
\newenvironment{test}%
{\begin{equation} $}%
{$ \end{equation}}

NH.
