R help - Aug 2015 - bind function

HI there
I'm very new to R, as in 3 days new, so apologies if I'm not framing my
question correctly
I am working through the Johns' Hopkins coursera course, I'm following,
just about!

I am trying to have R read multiple .csv files together as one dataframe - I
can't figure how to ask the program to do so, despite multiple attempts, and
googles' and re-reading the course materials.

Please can you advise what a code might read like?

Well, I guess (???) this isn't *really* homework .....

Something like:

clyde  <- list.files(pattern="*.csv")
melvin <- lapply(clyde,read.csv)
irving <- do.call(rbind,melvin)

Note that the data frames read in by read.csv() must have identical 
column names.

Your question is very vague and indicative of a lack of focus.  (As in 
"Focus?  They don't even know us!)

Have you read (thoroughly and diligently) some basic introduction to R, 
such as "An Introduction to R" (!!!) available from the R web page? 
Do so!

cheers,

Rolf Turner
