Tabbing in LaTeX is almost always the wrong thing to do. LaTeX handles all
whitespace for you if you use the correct semantic commands, and the
results are very nice. Tabs are for typewriters. :-)

But if you insist, type 'info latex2e' and read the section on the
'tabbing' environment. It can be handy for tables and stuff.

(If you just want space, \hspace may be more appropriate. I recommend
writing a custom semantic command with \newcommand instead of hardcoding
a spacing, if you anticipate using the space more than once.)
