It actually worked! Thank you so much for the example. I'll probably rewrite my module a bit to work more like your example above actually, but it even worked in the context of my module. Wow, this really saved my ass.
an alternative is to write a plugin forthe verbatim environment (see verb-ini to get an idea of what nasty things are involved with catcode changes).
Yeah, I was thinking of that actually, but didn't realize it as a possibility until I'd written a lot of code...guess I should rethink now.
