An example follows:

> V1 <- 1:4
> V2 <- 3:6
> V3 <- 2:5
> m <- matrix(nrow=4,ncol=3)
> m
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]   NA   NA   NA
[2,]   NA   NA   NA
[3,]   NA   NA   NA
[4,]   NA   NA   NA
> m[,1] <- V1
> m[,2] <- V2
> m[,3] <- V3
> m
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    1    3    2
[2,]    2    4    3
[3,]    3    5    4
[4,]    4    6    5
