Gabor, Thanks for pointing out CrossTable(). Just as a quick heads up/clarification for Carlos, CrossTable() is designed to cross-tabulate two vectors and generate counts, row/column/table proportions and other results from the 2 dimensional cross-tab in a (hopefully) nicely formatted fashion. It is not presently designed to handle generating proportions from the tabulation of a single vector with repeating values (such as Carlos' example) and will generate an error message if a single vector is passed. In that scenario, as many folks have already recommended, the combination of table() and prop.table() would be preferred. HTH, Marc Schwartz
