Vince,
I have not followed this thread very closely, but wondered whether the
following kludge would work... it's not pretty, but seems to do what you
want.
All I've done is use the multicol package and created an enumerated list
within it:
\begin{multicols}{2}
the list
\end{multicols}
In the listing itself, the alphanumeric side is typed in like the rest of
the initial, numeric, list. I then changed the depth of the alpha list with
shift-alt-right_arrow.
Since any good matching problem is unbalanced (yes? :-) the difference
between the length of the sides is made up by adding protected spaces and
protected returns with spaces (which doesn't change the enumeration).
If the spacing between columns isn't what you want, I'm pretty sure the
package has a way of adjusting it. I'm a fairly unsophisticated user,
though, so I don't know how it's done.
Hope this might help!
