I knew this approach. But this takes an extra step. Is there a command
that read a file directly into a matrix?
You can wrap matrix() around a scan() call. An example might prompt

You also could easily modify read.delim (which is after all a wrapped
scan call) to create a matrix rather than a dataframe.
