R help - Mar 2011 - (R) transitions in a Markov Chain

Dear experts,

I have to generate 1000 transitions of a discrete time Markov Chain and 
then give and estimation of the equilibrium distribution. 

I know the transition matrix.

0.3   0.7   0
0.2   0.5   0.3
0     0.4   0.6
Do you know how to do it with R?

Thanks a lot!

Estefania

  This sounds like homework, and it is the policy of this
list not to give answers to homework.

  To get you started, though, see

?matrix
?"%*%"

and possibly
?eigen

   good luck

To add to this, I am sure this have been answerted earlier on the list,
so you could try to search the archives.
