[R] Creating covariance matrices for simple and complex factor structure

Hello all,

I'm trying to create covariance matrices that, when processed via CFA
methods (in the sem package) will produce exact fit with simple structure down
to poor fit with cross loadings.  What is the best way to do this?  I don't
really need to have the exact loop code, but maybe an explanation of how to make
a few of the matrices or an explanation of the rationale behind performing this
task would be of benefit.

Thanks in advance.
