Basically you want a list in which each element as only one value in  
it. And those elements are the first twenty of the previous matrix,  
reading by line, then column.

I am not sure about:

I don't see any column or row name in

That's just a the way a list is printed. If you just want a clean  
visual output, then use cat in a for loop.

So I guess my question is what are you trying to achieve with that?  
What do you need the list for? It would help to know (a bit) of the  
general context to help you.
