[R] how to collapse a list of 1 column matrix to a matrix?

[adschai at optonline.net]

One more question. After I collapse everything into one matrix, I would like to find the index of column that holds minimum value for each row. I remember that there is a function like maxCols but I can't seem to find the same thing for minimum value. Any suggestion please?
