I am trying to typeset some program fragments in typewriter style. At
the moment I do this by defining a new (LaTeX) tabbing environment and
then doing things like

\begin{program}
\>{\tt TYPE} \\
\>\>{\tt T1 = PRODUCT} \\
\>\>\>{\tt f1 : word} \\
\>\>\>{\tt f2 : word} \\
\>\>{\tt END}
\>{\tt END}
\end{program}

(1)  There must be an easier way of doing this, and I'd appreciate it if
     you could let me in on the secret;

(2)  The single space between each colon and the following 'word' gets
     expanded to what looks like something between 1.5 and 2 spaces.
     Why is this happening? And what can be done about it? (This is also
     happening with 'c ! e' and 'c ? v'.

I must have program fragments in typewriter style in order to distinguish
them from other examples which may be mistaken for program fragments.
