I know there is a very simple answer to this question, but it eludes me.  I
need to insert a vector into a matrix.  So if I have a 2 column matrix with
5 rows, I need to insert in an additional vector so there is now 6 rows
without overwriting any of the data in the matrix already.

thanks,
Ben.

See ?rbind

mat <- matrix(1:10, ncol = 2)

> mat
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]    1    6
[2,]    2    7
[3,]    3    8
[4,]    4    9
[5,]    5   10


Add the row to the end:

> rbind(mat, c(6, 11))
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]    1    6
[2,]    2    7
[3,]    3    8
[4,]    4    9
[5,]    5   10
[6,]    6   11


Insert the row before the 5th row:

> rbind(mat[1:4, ], c(6, 11), mat[5, ])
     [,1] [,2]
[1,]    1    6
[2,]    2    7
[3,]    3    8
[4,]    4    9
[5,]    6   11
[6,]    5   10
