Oleg,
Yes! list2 works well for my needs. Thank you.
I have often wondered why list was defined the way
it is, because list2 seems more useful to me, usually. Of
course one advantage to list is that no attention to the
size of a physical page is required, where that attention
would be needed for list2, in order for the alphabetical
listing to be unbroken on each page.
