R help - Dec 2008 - Hmisc latex() and Rcmdr numSummary() percentage issues

Dear R users,
I have issues regarding latex() from Hmisc and numSummary() from
Rcmdr. Here's an example:
> library(Rcmdr)
> data(Angell, package="car")
> numSummary(Angell[,"hetero"], statistics=c("mean",
"sd", "quantiles"), quantiles=c( 0,.25,.5,.75,1 ))
> .numSummary <- popOutput()
> latex(as.table(.numSummary$table), cdec=c(2), file="",
title="")
The resulting LaTeX code (see below) is not compilable, because of the
`%' signs present in the column headers, and that are not escaped by
latex() (contrary to the behaviour of xtable()). I can solve the issue
manually by escaping the percentage signs `\%'.

Would there be a way to automatise this?
Thank you,
Liviu
