Owen,

Try putting the following snippet in your .tex file.  I tested it in
BibDesk's TeX preview template with a couple of styles, and it appears to do
what you want.

\usepackage{paralist}

\makeatletter
\renewenvironment{thebibliography}[1]
     {\section*{\refname}%
      [EMAIL PROTECTED]
      \begin{inparaenum}%
      [EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
           [EMAIL PROTECTED]
            \leftmargin\labelwidth
            \advance\leftmargin\labelsep
            [EMAIL PROTECTED]@code
            \usecounter{enumiv}%
            [EMAIL PROTECTED]@empty
            [EMAIL PROTECTED]@enumiv}}%
      \sloppy
      \clubpenalty4000
      [EMAIL PROTECTED] \clubpenalty
      \widowpenalty4000%
      [EMAIL PROTECTED]
     [EMAIL PROTECTED]
       [EMAIL PROTECTED]@warning{Empty `thebibliography' environment}}%
      \endlist\end{inparaenum}}
\renewcommand\newblock{}
\makeatother

This should give you some ideas anyway; it's the bibliography definition
from article.cls, with the list environment modified using the paralist
package.

Adam
