## I think you should look at the abind ## array bind
## function in the abind package.
install.packages("abind")
library(abind)
? abind
## the examples are comprehensive
## It allows constructions like these
w <- matrix(1:6, 2, 3, dimnames=list(letters[1:2], LETTERS[3:5]))
x <- w+10
y <- w+20
z <- w+30
wxyz <- abind(W=w, X=x, Y=y, Z=z, along=.5)
dim(wxyz)
wxyz
wxyz["W", , ]
