[R] Vector multiplication wrap-around

[Wollenberg, Kurt R]

Greetings:

In a function I'm trying to write I am multiplying each row in a matrix by a
vector. When the vector extends beyond the end of the matrix I need to have
the multiplication wrap around (continue with column 1 of the matrix).
Initially I got this to work with a loop (old programming habits die hard).
Now, after going back through MASS I've figured out how to do the
multiplication efficiently (without loops) but I can't seem to solve the
wrapping problem. Is there an efficient method for making vector
multiplication wrap around the end of the matrix? I'm using R-2.0.0 running
on Windows XP Pro 2002.
