R help - Jul 2005 - cbind a list of matrices

Dear users,

I have a list of several matrices with the same number of columns,
how do I rbind them all with a vectorized command?

A related simpler question is, how do I vectorize the instruction
that rbinds together several copies of the same matrix?

Thanks.

This would be adequate for low dimensional dataset e.g. the example 
you have give. What if you have a list of thousands of matrices. Is 
there an efficient way of doing this other than looping?
