[texhax] Tabbing problem

[Peter Flom]

Hello again

Using TeXlive and Winedt on a Windows machine....

When I try to typeset

PREAMBLE OMITTED

\begin{tabbing}
    model1\=\hspace{3in}\=\kill
    model1\= $\leftarrow$ lm(weight$\sim$height)\\
                                \>\# Linear model to be used later\\
    plot(weight$\sim$height)    \>\# Basic scatterplot\\
    abline{h=mean(weight))\\
                       \>\>\# Horizontal line at mean of weight\\
    abline(v=mean(height))\\
                        \>\>\# Vertical line at mean of height\\
\end{tabbing}

using the pdflatex button, I get an error that 'something is missing,
perhaps a missing \item'

When I try to typeset just this bit with 'compile selected block', 
everything after the second line is overprinted onto the same line.



I have a feeling I'm missing something simple, but I've been looking at
this for 30 minutes, and trying to find help in several books, to no
avail....

Any help is, as always, appreciated

Peter
