[texhax] Tabbing problem

[Juan Mari Alberdi]

This one works with me (I've chanched a couple of  typing errors?), but 
perhaps you meant something a little different.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}


\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}


\end{document}
