I need to continue a sequence number in an enumerate
environment separated by \section commands, so that
when I start a new \begin{enumerate} environment it
picks up with the number last used - like the following
model:
\section{Introduction}
\begin{enumerate}
\item First thing
\item Second thing
\end{enumerate}
\section{Continuing}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Third thing
\item Fourth thing
\end{enumerate}
What do I need to do so that the enumerated items in
the second environment continue with being numbered 3,
4, and so forth?
Thank you for your suggestions.

I answered my own question. Resetting the counter was the
answer. I could devise a way to generalize this, but I
desperately needed this for a legal document that is
due today, so hard coded it.

There is a better way of doing this, supplied by the enumitem package.
It is available via CTAN from
http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=enumitem
The enumitem package allows you to resume a previous enumerate
environment counter in the following simple way:
\begin{enumerate}
\item
\item
...
\item
\end{enumerate}
blah blah blah blah...
\begni{enumerate}[resume]
\item
\item
...
\item
\end{enumerate}
More on other capabilities of the package is contained in the
documentation.
Hope this helps,
Werner

Dear Werner:
It's very happy with the information about the enumitem package.
But very sorry that I can not download it from CTAN.
I have tried many times but all failed.
Do you have that package?
Will you please send me that package?
Thank you very much.

Dear all:
It realy works.
In fact, I need not to download that package. It is already in MikTeX
2.4.
All I have done is to add one sentence \usepackage{enumitem} in
my .tex file.
Thanks a lot.
