You don't need to wrap 1:12 in c(). Since matrices are just folded vectors, you can convert vector X to a matrix Xm:
Xm <- matrix( X, nrow=3 ) and access columns to get your your sub-vectors: Xm[,1] Xm[,2] and so on. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... .....
