R help - Apr 2008 - Naming rows oe columns in a data frame.

Hello there! I have a really basic question. I have extracted some data from a
big database. I have ordered the data in to different agegroups in the rows. Now
I want to to have labels of the columns which is going to be divided into men ,
women and totals. How do I give names to a column? My data looks like this for
the moment;

0-39      12     34    43
40-49    14     23    23
50-59    16     37    21
60-69    75     32    41
etc        12    43    23

where the first column is the different agegroups.

colnames(xx) <- c('men', 'womem', 'total')
