Weird.  I found it hard to miss.  Where did you look?

By "input" what do you mean?  Type it in from the R-prompt, or read
it off a disk, download from a url connection, load it from a database
server, copy it from an SAS export file, or ...

I think the two most likely questions you're trying to ask are
1) type it in.  For example:
A <- matrix(c(1,2,4,5,6,9),nrow=2)

2) read it off disk.
For that, you'll need the R Data Import/Export Manual that
came with your R distribution.  If you can't find that,
look here:
