Hi,
Try this:

r1<-c(1,1,2,3)
 r2<-c(2,1,2,2)
 r3<-c(2,1,4,1)
 data1<-data.frame(r1,r2)
 data2<-data.frame(r1,r3)
data1$r3<-NA
 data2$r2<-NA
 merge(data1,data2,all=TRUE,sort=FALSE)
#  r1 r2 r3
#1  1  2 NA
#2  1  1 NA
#3  2  2 NA
#4  3  2 NA
#5  1 NA  2
#6  1 NA  1
#7  2 NA  4
#8  3 NA  1
A.K.

Thanks Jim for your help. Your results are not what I wanted. I would like
to see something like the matrix below. This is what I would get if I used
the ADD Files command in SPSS. V

r1 r2   r3
1  2   NA
1  1   NA
2  2   NA
3  2   NA
1  NA 2
1  NA 1
2  NA 4
3  NA 1
