[R] Simple table with frequency variable

Thank you Jim,
Sorry, that I was not clear enough.
Each case has a frequency variable N.
so when tabulating combinations (i,j) they
should be weighted with weight N.

In this case I would like a command
table(i,j,N)
resulting in
     j
  i   1  2
    1 11 12
    2 21 22
    ...
    5 51 52

And I was looking for a table command
that allows for a case weight variable.
Gerrit.
