You can have a look at the style file for beamer which uses its own
function `LaTeX-item-beamer' for redefining the way \item's are
inserted.  The regular functions for inserting items are defined in
latex.el after the definition of the variable `LaTeX-item-list'.

Preferably such specialities should go into a style file for
HA-prosper.  There is some information about writing style files in
the manual of AUCTeX.
