R help - Mar 2008 - Extracting single output data into a vector or matrix

I've been struggling to do the following:
  After a lengthy computation, I receive an output along the lines of the list
below.
  This list has 41 values and is not the end of my computations.  I have another
computation to do on the list below, but in this final computation the list is
supposed to be a vector.
  I've tried to assign the list below to a data frame and then extract it,
but not luck!  Cleary, this is because each of the outputs in the list
represents an individual data point that is not regarded as part of a matrix. 
Any help?  I desperately need to be able to extract all the output data into a
Vector so I can perform the final step of my computation.
   
  Thanks in advance.

Ayman,

It is difficult to say without seeing some code, but your output
seems to be not a list in the R sense but a collection of
vectors, each of length 1. The best way to put the values into a
vector probably is to assign them to the elements of the vector
during your computations.
