lists - very strange

I'm struggling to understand how to easily create a list in Amaya. It's  
behavior is beyond comprehension, for me, and there appears to be no  
useful documentation, which is baffling.

Here's what I'm doing:

* I type a word in Amaya - "one"
* I press F2 to select the line
* I press Ctrl+h+l to create list element
* I press Enter, to get a new, empty list element, but I get a paragraph  
instead!

There seems to be no way out of this. Entering another word - "two" -  
selecting and trying to convert this to a list element creates a  
hierarchical list, which is plain wrong.

So, this --

<ul>
   <li>one
     <p>two</p>
   </li>
</ul>

gets converted to --

<ul>
   <li><p>one</p>
     <ul>
       <li>two</li>
     </ul>
   </li>
</ul>

This is wrong, AND a mess.

Can someone please explain this to me, and tell me if there's a simple way  
to create lists in Amaya that doesn't involved hand editing the source?

Whatever it's doing, it's simply not usable when there's no documatation  
that easily locatable.

Thanks in advance.
