[R] concatenate values in the vector

[J.delasHeras at ed.ac.uk]

Unfortunately the "shorter" version does not do what the op asked.
The correct way is using the 'collapse' parameter. Using paste on a  
vector of length n with the parameter 'sep' you get a vector of n  
elements. If you use "collapse" you get a single string.
