Please will somebody help a confused LaTeX user? 

If I use the following

\tt
\begin{tabbing}
123456\=7 \=123456789012\=           \kill
\>\>CALL E02ADF(M,KPLUS1,NROWS,X,Y,W,WORK1,WORK2 \\
\>+\>\>,A,S,IFAIL)
\end{tabbing}
\rm
This is not the start of a new paragraph! Lots of text to see whether or

The effect is what I want i.e., the text following the tabbing is left
justified (does NOT start a new paragraph).

If I define a newenvironment

\newenvironment{egcall}{ \tt \begin{tabbing} 123456\=7 \=123456789012\=           \kill}{ \end{tabbing} \rm}

and use

\begin{egcall}
\>\>CALL E02ADF(M,KPLUS1,NROWS,X,Y,W,WORK1,WORK2 \\
\>+\>\>,A,S,IFAIL)
\end{egcall}

then the line follwing the \end{egcall} starts a new paragraph. I've tried
putting \protect's in all conceivable positions without success. Where is
the new paragraph coming from and how do I stop it?
