I did this  but I had to  set some DRD properties before  I could edit
the contents of the list.  Once  I did that it works fine.  It doesn't
seem necessary for the core list constructs and I can't see why it was
necessary  for me.   Am I  missing  something?  (The  package file  is
attached.)

I found that either of these worked with my package.  I'll probably go
with the latter  as it is simpler.  Is there  any reason you suggested
the latter only for solution 2?   It seems to work perfectly well with
solution 1 as well!

Thanks for all  your help, though I'm worried  that TeXmacs hacking is
going to become as much of an addiction as TeX hacking once was!  :-)
