<description><![CDATA[ This probably isn't quite what you want.  \labelenumi determines what symbols appear next to the items in the list, but it doesn't determine how the list is numbered in general---using this, if you refer to your list items with \theenumi or \label{} and \ref{}, you will still get the default setting (probably Arabic numerals).  Instead, try redefining \theenumi :

\renewcommand{\theenumi}{\alph{enumi}}

It is useful to redefine \labelenumi if you want to change aspects of the labelling without changing the numbering system---for instance, if you want to get  1), 2), 3) . . . instead of 1., 2., 3..  But then it's probably best to redefine it in terms of \theenumi (\renewcommand{\labelenumi}{\theenumi)}, for instance), so that if you change your mind about the numbering system later, everything will change consistantly without extra effort. ]]></description>
