Hi John,
Yes, you're right, listings won't touch the results. To have Org-mode
put the results in an environment of your choosing, do this (note the
:wrap keyword):
#+begin_src R :session basic :results output :exports both :wrap foo
nrow(nonzero.data)
#+end_src
This should give you
#+BEGIN_foo
...
#+END_foo
If you also have lines like this, then you should see something in the
pdf file.
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{framed}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{xcolor}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \definecolor{shadecolor}{gray}{.95}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \newenvironment{foo}{\begin{shaded}}{\end{shaded}}
All the best,
Tom
