R help - Oct 2011 - lapply to return vector

Dear all I have wrote the following line


return(as.vector(lapply(as.data.frame(data),min,simplify=TRUE)));


I want the lapply to return a vector as it returns a list with elements as shown
below

List of 30001
$ V1    : num -131
$ V2    : num -131
$ V3    : num -137
$ V4    : num -129
$ V5    : num -130


as you can see I have already tried the simplify=TRUE and also the as.vector()
but both did not help

Why I want to use lapply is because afterwards will be easier to convert it to
mclapply that can use many cores to do the work.

I would like to thank you in advance for your help

do.call(rbind, lapply(...))
