Hi,

I have worked long and hard and looked in the manuals and am having a hard time
constructing a diagonal matrix.  I can get the diagonals out of a matrix but
can't construct the matrix with just the diagonals.  I have been on the web
site and manuals and I think that it says to use:

dsj <- diag (three = 1, nrow, ncol = 7)                           three is
the name of my matrix and dsj is where I'm trying to put it but it comes
back:

unused argument(s) (three ...)
every time that I try it.

Am I doing something wrong in trying to make this matrix?

Thank you very much for your time, Chris Ryan
