I have another question concerning the paste command:

now instead of a vector I would like to paste the elements of a matrix
together, which works in the same:

Mypastedmatrix <- paste(Mymatrix,collapse="")

My problem now is that the program does this BY COLUMN, but I would like to
have the elements pasted together BY ROW.

Could anybody help me with this?
