Hi David, I saw this post and thought: "didn't I have a similar problem a while back"? And yes, I did, while I was stil working for Kluwer Academic. The "a while" turned out to be around 1999, and the code (hack) I used back then is no longer even remotely usable (for one because context was still in dutch, then), but I'll see if I can update my patch.

Hello,
I'll try to be more exact in my question to prevent empty answer now :-)

I've used enumeration features for typesetting Theorems, Lemmas, and Definitions. Two extra requirements appeared. Is this possible to create lists of those entities (something like \placelistofTheorems :-)?
And is there a way to add names to them, resulting in something like
Definition 4.3: Interval Decision Diagram Node blahblah
What I need is to enrich enumerations by the possibility to write into list. How can I get the number of the current enumeration? The resulting list should be something like Definition 4.3 ....... pagenumber
I've managed something like \expanded{\writetolist[MyList]{\precedingsectionnumber\numberTheorem}{}}} (hooked into inbetween of defineenumeration) work, but it works for the first level of enumerations only (i.e., not for \subdefinition) (well, I don't mind it so much, but there should be a better way indeed). What is the "politically-correct" way of obtaining the "4.3" number?
Second: I want some of the definitions to have names (to appear in the list, too). The idea now is to re-define \startDefinition so that it 1. globaly defines a macro for the content of the name 2. the old \startDefinition will typeset Definition 4.3: Interval Decision Diagram Node and puts Definition 4.3 (Interval ...) ... pagenumber into the list, both by means of hooking into "inbetween".
Is this "simple enough" or is there a better way to do this? BTW, is it reasonable to enrich enumerations with the possibility to create lists and with "names"? What would be great for things like definitions and lemmas is something that combines descriptions (that have names but no numbering) and enumerations (that have exactly the opposite features).
Thank you, D.A.
