- Well, there is also a lovely little macro at SHSU called
- boxit.sty. It allows you to include lines of text separated

- You can still achieve the same thing by shadow.sty. All you
- have to do is to place the \shabox's argument in a minipage
- environment.

- Normally, if you make the argument of the box macros to be
- a minipage environment, you will get around what you want to do.
- Also, consider getting fancybox.sty and/or boxedminipage.sty.
