   The `list' environment is a generic environment which is used for
defining many of the more specific environments. It is seldom used in
documents, but often in macros.

      \begin{list}{label}{spacing}
      \item First item
      \item Second item
      .
      .
      .
      \end{list}

   The `{label}' argument specifies how items should be labelled.  This
argument is a piece of text that is inserted in a box to form the
label.  This argument can and usually does contain other LaTeX commands.

   The `{spacing}' argument contains commands to change the spacing
parameters for the list.  This argument will most often be null, i.e.,
`{}'.  This will select all default spacing which should suffice for
most cases.
