Okay, Wizards, I need help on this one! Why can't you enumerate something in
an unfilled environment (format or verbatim). I don't want to double space
the material--that negates the need for an unfilled environment! When you
begin an enumerate (and end it) within the unfilled environment, then scribe
it, it gives you a number 1 and runs all the rest into a lovely,
unintelligible paragraph!

From: Michael E. Fryd <FRYD@C.CS.CMU.EDU>
it sounds like you want a multicolumn list of names, where each name
is numbered.  

Scribe can number paragraphs.   If you make each name a paragraph, then
Scribe will number each name.  You must use a filled environment because
unfilled environments do not have "paragraphs".  If you do not want
extra space between names, just use SPREAD=0 (Spread is the space
between paragraphs)

A simple environment to do this is:

@Define(NumberedNames,Break,Continue,Fill, leftmargin 5,indent -5,
	 NumberLocation lfl,Spaces Compact, Spacing 1,Spread 0,
	 Numbered <@1. @,@a. @,@i. >,Referenced <@1@,@a@,@i>)


To get multiple columns of names, you just need to use the COLUMN
environment attribute.  if you want three columns the definition would
look like:
@define(ThreeColumn,columns 3, boxed,  ColumnMargin .5 inch)

Then in your .mss file just say:
@begin(ThreeColumn)
@begin(NumberedNames)

name one

name two

name three

name four

. . .

name n

@end(NumberedNames)
@end(ThreeColumn)


your output will look like


1.   name one            5.   name five           9.   name nine
2.   name two            6.   name six            10.  name ten
3.   name three          7.   name seven          11.  name eleven
4.   name four           8.   name eight          12.  name twelve

I thank everyone for their help, particularly Ivor Durham. It is possible to
enumerate in an "unfilled" environment by doing the following:

@begin(enumerate, justification off, nofill)
copy
copy
@end(enumerate)

I still have to use the @\ to get my second column, but at least I don't
have to double space between lines (which means I can see as much of the
information on the screen). Again, thanks for all the help.
