R help - Sep 2007 - Create a loop to conduct multiple pairwise binary operations

#Hello,

#I have three data frames, X,Y and Z with two columns each and different
numbers of rows.

# creation of data frame X

X.alleles     <- c(1,5,6,7,8)
X.Freq        <- c(0.35, 0.15, 0.05, 0.10, 0.35)
Loc1             <- cbind( Loc1.alleles,Loc1.Freq)
X            <- data.frame(Loc1)

#creation of data frame Y

Y.alleles  <- c(1,4,6,8)
Y.Freq     <- c(0.35, 0.35, 0.10, 0.20)
Loc2          <- cbind(Loc2.alleles, Loc2.Freq)
Y             <- data.frame (Loc2)

# creation of data frame Z

Z.alleles  <- c(1,4,5,6,8)
Z.Freq     <- c(0.35, 0.35, 0.05, 0.05, 0.20)
Loc3          <- cbind(Loc3.alleles, Loc3.Freq)
Z             <- data.frame (Loc3)

X
Y
Z

#  I want to create a pair wise multiplication for all of the second columns
of my dataframe X,Y and Z

# Here is a way to get two of the data frames to create a pairwise
multiplication.

X.Freq_times_Y.Freq<- matrix(Y[,2] %o% X[,2], ncol=1)
X.Freq_times_Y.Freq

# I would like to create a loop to calculate all possible pairwise
multiplications for the
# second columns of my X,Y, and Z data frames.
# I will be conducting pair wise comparisons for up to 50 different data
frames so I need the code to be
# as flexible as possible

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
