[R] embedding data frame in R code?

[ivo welch]

I would like to insert a few modest size data frames directly into my
R code.  a short illustration example of what I want is

d <- read.csv(  _END_, row.names=1  )
 , "col1", "col2"
"row1",1,2
"row2",3,4
__END__

right now, the data sits in external files.  I could put each column
into its own vector and then combine into a data frame, but this seems
ugly.  is there a better way to embed data frames?  I searched for the
answer via google, but could not find it.  it wasn't obvious in the
data import/export guide.

regards,

/iaw
