Dear Brookes Moses,

just a note to say I am a big user of your excellent Listings package,
but I would like to ask if it is possible to use it to create an environment
for presenting normal latex typesetting (ie not verbatin stuff)
but on a coloured background.
for example, something like a `quote' environment but with everything on a background of , say, pale blue, etc.

regards,
Dick
