Howdy,

This should work for a level one enumerated list:

\newcounter{savepartcounteri}
\newcommand{\partbreak}[1]{%
    \setcounter{savepartcounteri}{\value{enumi}}\end{enumerate}%
    #1\relax%
    \begin{enumerate}\setcounter{enumi}{\value{savepartcounteri}}
}

Basically this saves the value of the enumerate level one counter and leaves
the en enumerate environment, puts in the text that is the argument of the
\partbreak command, re-enters an enumerate list and restores the level 1
counter. It could be easily generalized to save all the counters and restore
them all so it would work at all levels. You might have to add a \par
command just after the #1.

Good Luck,
