I think you're looking for xtabs [see the examples; they're quite
good] but I can't be sure: your printed object can't really exist in R
so I'm not sure what you have currently.

I have a data frame that has columns Semester, Student ID (SID), Subject, Grade, Devel (Tor F). Students can have multiple records within a semester.
Right now, the columns are not considered factors.

I want to do an analysis that would show the number of students who received particular combinations of grades. I also need to distinguish between the two Development levels (they modify classes, not students), but first things
first.
                                                       Grade

49 1 1 1 0 0 0
                           112               0   0    0   0   0    2
                                    etc.

I can do this procedurally but that leads to a life of trouble and ugly
code. Your help deeply appreciated to do this in a r way.

The R way? The "R way" would be to post directly to the mailing list and avoid formatted input. Best practice would be to post the output from dput(yourtable).

You can use merge() if you have two related tables.
