R help - Jun 2009 - Deleting repeated rows

Appologies if this is a simple problem. I have a matrix which is 86x3 and
each row contains three integers. The problem I have is that some of the
rows of integers are repeated in other rows and I only wish to have one copy
of these rows.

Is there a function that I can use which will identify these repeated rows
and delete them from the matrix? I have searched for help with this problem
but the only function I have found is 'grep' which I'm not sure is
of any
use.

?unique

# generate data
set.seed(1001)
m <- matrix(sample(1:3,20*3,TRUE),ncol=3);m

# get unique values
unique(m)

As you can see, row 7 and 20 are 1,1,1... and you get only one row with
1,1,1 in the second matrix.
