Thanks for all the replies to my query which is included below.
The solution was a simple one.
do.call("table",X)
or
crosstabs(X)
Bill Venables gave some insight in stripping crosstabs to the bare
bones.
structure(crosstabs(~ . , X),
marginals = NULL, call = NULL, class = NULL)
I thank everyone who replied.
