layout question

[leuven edwin]

i am fiddling with a layout i'm trying to put together

i want to define an environment that contains plain text.

i have the following

Style Stata-Log
        LatexType             Environment
        LatexName             stlog
        FreeSpacing           true
        KeepEmpty             true
        Font
          Family              Typewriter
          Color               latex
          Size                Small
        EndFont
End

which almost does the trick with the following exceptions

1. spaces are transformed to ~
2. after every line (i.e. paragraph) an extra line break is inserted

i was wondering whether there is a way to achieve this without resolving to 
InsetLayout

thanks for any suggestion

regards, ed.
