I am trying to draw a box around some verbatim text.
I tried something like:

	\framebox[3in]{
	\begin{verbatim}
	This is
	just some text
	\end{verbatim}
	}


Didn't work, and produced an error :-)
Then, I tried:

	\fbox{
	\begin{minipage}{3in}
	\begin{verbatim}
	This is
	just some text
	\end{verbatim}
	\end{minipage}
	}


Again, no luck.  Any help?
Tnanks.
