[texhax] tip: beamer: frame fragile frametitle and semiverbatim

[Fehd, Ronald J. (CDC/CCHIS/NCHM)]

now that I'm up&runnig with beamer
I have come across a couple of gotchas:

here is a simple usage of frame environment with title: Outline

\begin{frame}{Outline}
   \tableofcontents
   \end{frame}

if I cut&paste the above

\begin{frame}{Outline}

and add [fragile]

\begin{frame}[fragile]{Some program code}
\begin{semiverbatim}
FileName              \alert{SiteMacr} "...";
Options  SASautos =  (\alert{SiteMacr} SASautos)
         MautoSource; \alert{%PassInfoX;}

LibName  Library      "\alert{!ProjRoot}/sas7b";
\end{semiverbatim}

the verbatim text is justified: i.e. word wrapped

FileName \alert{SiteMacr} "..."; Options  SASautos = 
(\alert{SiteMacr} SASautos) MautoSource; \alert{%PassInfoX;}

solution: add frametitle

%NOTE: must use fragile AND frametitle w/semiverbatim
\begin{frame}[fragile]\frametitle{PassInfo: autoexec.sas}
\begin{semiverbatim}
\onslide<1->   FileName              \alert{SiteMacr} "...";
\onslide<2->   Options  SASautos =  (\alert{SiteMacr} SASautos)
\onslide<3->            MautoSource; \alert{%PassInfoX;}

\onslide<4->   LibName  Library      "\alert{!ProjRoot}/sas7b";
\end{semiverbatim}
\end{frame}

note: if there is a beamer listserve, faq, etc.
please let me know and I'll post this tip there.
