Rainer,
Have you tried:
\preformatted{...}
which is documented in R-exts to preserve line breaks:
Indicate text that is a literal example of a piece of a program. Text is
displayed using typewriter font if possible. Formatting, e.g. line breaks, is
preserved. (Note that this includes a line break after the initial {, so
typically text should start on the same line as the command.)
Due to limitations in LaTeX as of this writing, this macro may not be nested
within other markup macros other than \dQuote and \sQuote, as errors or bad
formatting may result.
I have not used it myself, but might be worth a try, plus or minus the \cr use.
Regards,
Marc Schwartz
