t(matrix).  

This may be a good time to point out the help.search() function.
   help.search(transpose)

  Help files with name or title matching `transpose':

  t(base)   Matrix Transpose

You could refer to it by get(paste("lm",1,sep="")) but this sort of thing
is very rarely necessary.  

If you have a whole bunch of lms to store then you can put them in a list,
and then refer to them as, say, lmlist[[1]], lmlist[[2]]
