[R] unique combinations

[Keith Jewell]

Thanks Uwe,

I was happy that my 2 lines gave what the OP asked for, albeit in a 
different order.

My puzzlement arose from Jeff Newmillers comment:

... which I reas as saying that ?expand.grid would lead to a solution.
I used "[", which I couldn't see suggested on ?expand.grid.
I thought I'd missed a neater solution in the help pages, and hoped someone 
could point it out.

Best regards,

Keith Jewell
