R devel - Jul 2003 - How to do get verbatim in Rd files

I want to include a multi-line code block in the details section of a R
manual page.  How do I get an appropriate verbatim-like environment?
\verbatim{...} doesn't do the trick,  neither does \code{...}.

I don't think this is currently possible.

It would certainly be nice to have something like texinfo's

Attached is a patch to $RSRC/share/perl/R/Rdconv.pm that adds support for
\verbatim{ ... } to the .Rd format.
