I'm now just a beginner (no more absolute) with LaTeX, and I would like to
define an environment of my own, including some verbatim. Something like
that:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
\newenvironment{myenv}{\begin{verbatim}}{\end{verbatim}}
\documentstyle{book}
\pagestyle{headings}
\begin{document}

\chapter{Hi}

Here it comes:

\begin{myenv}
    Try and try
                ... again !
\end{myenv}

This is the end.

\end{document}
------------------------------------------------------------------------


But it doesn't work. This is the most important part of the log file:

This is TeX, Version 2.0 for Berkeley UNIX (preloaded format=lplain 86.12.16)  23 JUL 1987 18:45
(es.tex
LaTeX Version 2.09 - Released 27 October 1986
(/usr/lib/tex/macros/book.sty
Document Style `book'. Released 4 September 1986.
(/usr/lib/tex/macros/bk10.sty)
) (es.aux)
Chapter 1.
)
Runaway argument?
^^M    Try and try^^M                ... again !^^M\end{myenv}^^M^^MT\ETC.
! File ended while scanning use of \@xverbatim.
 
                \par 
<*> es.tex 

?


What happened ?
Thanks for the help.
