One online reference that looks particularly relevant to your query is:
"Practical Regression and Anova in R" by Julian J. Faraway, available 
here:
http://www.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~faraway/book/pra.pdf
Or, his updated book
"Linear Models with R"
http://www.stat.lsa.umich.edu/~faraway/LMR/
which I use regularly as a reference.

Your questions also contain elements of "how do I do simple things in R" 
that would be covered by any of the introductory R/S texts.

I assume with a set of nested loops that vary the indices.

probably by using c(), cbind(), and rbind() in some combination to collect 
your results.
