    I'm using the quotation environment now which seems to work well for
    multiline code. 

From
http://www.gnu.org/software/hello/manual/texinfo/Block-Enclosing-Commands.html
..
@example is the intended environment for code examples:
     Illustrate code, commands, and the like. The text is printed in a
     fixed-width font, and indented but not filled.

@quotation is for, well, quotations:
     Indicate text that is quoted. The text is filled, indented (from
     both margins), and printed in a roman font by default.

I doubt you want a roman font or indented margins or filled (justified)
text in your code examples, that would be bizarre.

    The only problem is that there is a big rectangular box
    at the end of it for no apparent reason that I can see.

There are no "big rectangular boxes" by default, for sure :).  If you
send an example document, maybe we can debug.

Best,
k
