the package framed.sty will do this for you.  unfortunately, you need
to read the .sty file itself to understand how to use the beastly
thing, but in principle it's a solution.  there's another, boites.sty,
which i suspect of being dvips-specific, and hence not useful for y&y
users.  if you can't make sense of framed, ask again and i'll try to
help more...
