  An array is certainly the right structure to hold a 'data cube' in R.
However, I think the original poster is looking for something similar
to View()  that would allow them to navigate interactively
through the rows, columns, and slices of a 3D array. I'm not aware of 
such an interface ...  If I were going to try to *develop* this I would
probably try to figure out how to use the tkTable widget 
<http://tktable.sourceforge.net/tktable/doc/tkTable.html>, but this
sounds like a non-trivial project ...
