Newly defined environment swallows the text it contains
I want to define an environment to format test directions. So I do this:
documentclass{minimal}
usepackage{lipsum}
newenvironment{directions}
{
noindent fbox{
begin{minipage}[t]{textwidth}
}
{
end{minipage}
}
}
begin{document}
begin{directions}
lipsum[1]
end{directions}
end{document}
Text in that environment does not appear in the compiled document, and I get a forgotten endgroup error (and also an extra } inserted error). I'm pretty sure I've closed all the braces; where did I go wrong?

your framebox is not properly closed. in the first part of new environment you should collect content of new environment in some savebox and than it use in the second part inside of framebox. see the following example:
documentclass{minimal}
usepackage{lipsum}
newsaveboxdirectbox
newenvironment{directions}
{
begin{lrbox}{directbox}
begin{minipage}{linewidth}
}{
end{minipage}end{lrbox}
framebox{useboxdirectbox}
}
begin{document}
begin{directions}
lipsum[1]
end{directions}
end{document}
