[OS X TeX] Indented lists

[Keith Knipling]

I am hacking a resume document for preparing my CV. I have defined  
each section as its own environment, containing essentially list  
data. Here is an example of a defined environment (what would go in  
the preamble:

<Preamble>

\newenvironment{seci}[1]{  %Containing itemized list
\vspace{2em}
{\large\sc\textbf{#1}}
	\begin{itemize}
		\setlength{\leftmargin}{10em}
		\setlength{\rightmargin}{0em}
		\setlength{\itemindent}{0em}% indentation of first line of an item;  
can be negative
		\setlength{\listparindent}{0em}% space for paragraph indent after  
the first
		\setlength{\itemsep}{1em}% amount of extra vertical space between  
items
		\setlength{\parsep}{10em}
	}{\end{itemize}}


And below is what goes in the document:


<Text>

\begin{seci}{Affiliations}
\item Materials Research Society
\item ASM International
\item The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society
\item American Vacuum Society
\end{seci}


\begin{seci}{More Affiliations}
\item Materials Research Society
\item ASM International
\item The Minerals, Metals, and Materials Society
\item American Vacuum Society
\end{seci}


Try changing the \leftmargin parameter and see if it does anything.  
Fiddle with the other numbers (parsep, e.g.), and things change, but  
the \leftmargin, which is what i would like to adjust most, does  
nothing. Anyone have a good idea?

Thanks,

Keith
