Jim,
Is it possible to do a do.call(rbind,d.frame) with a list
like using lapply(data,func,args)?
I have not successfully executed this.

A few other ideas to try:
* try merging do.call("rbind", d.frame) and seqFile, and then spliting
the results back up
* try turning giving seqFile rownames (rownames(seqFile) <-
seqFile$index) and then use character matching: cbind(x, seqFile[
as.character(x$index)]
* if there is a one to one corresponding between index in seqFile and
all data.frames in d.frame, merge all of the d.frames together, order
both by index then just cbind
