A while back I asked about getting shadow boxes in (La)Tex, and a number of
people mentioned that I'd have to get some \special commands included in the
text and get a version of dvi -> PS (in my case) that would insert the box,
from pic, etc. (I never did get a complete address from which to FTP stuff,
although some mention of them was made.)
My mistake. I don't want to INCLUDE a shaded box; I want the background of
a current box, with included text, to be shaded. I'm using 'box' here not
in the TeXnical sense, as I actually want the background to possibly span a
number of paragraphs, possibly even page boundaries.
Thoughts, comments, suggestions, encouragements?
