R help - Oct 2008 - read.spss: variable.labels

Hi,

how can I attach variable labels originally read by read.spss() to the  
resulting variables?

<pre>
X <- read.spss('data.sav', use.value.labels = TRUE, to.data.frame =  
TRUE, trim.factor.names = TRUE, trim_values = TRUE, reencode =
"UTF-8")
names(X) <- tolower(names(X))
attach(X)
</pre>

Thank you

S?ren
