Math & Science ⇒ Sweave Soutput environment

[cullisb]

Dear Users
I have created a *.tex file from Sweave package in R. The Sweave.sty defines a verbatim environment as follows
\DefineVerbatimEnvironment{Sinput}{Verbatim}{fontshape=sl}
\DefineVerbatimEnvironment{Soutput}{Verbatim}{}
\DefineVerbatimEnvironment{Scode}{Verbatim}{fontshape=sl}

My problem is that Emacs doesnt seem to recognize the environment as a verbatim environment and so special characters like '$' are not protected. Any clues to work around wqould be great!cullisb
(PS also sent this to the Auctex list as I am not sure where is the best for this problem)

AucTeX has a variable "LaTeX-verbatim-environments" that you may customize.
