R help - Apr 2005 - hi: I am newbie for R too...

I have so much questions about using R...but i will try my best to solve myself
before bothering you guys....
firstly...                            yes                         no
   male        old               130                        70
                 young            34                          48
  female     old                50                        60
                   young            79                        23

can I do a chisq.test for such contingency table?....cuz...it is not 2 dimension
....is there any other method to test the independency to the answer for the
factors (male, female) (old, young)
or you guys will suggest me to add them up and do chosq.test 2 times.. thank
you...

i think the log-linear model can deal with this.
and the glm with poisson family,loglin,loglm from MASS packages can estimate
log-linear model.
hope help:)
