(1) Please avoid posting in HTML (although no great harm was done in 
this instance).  This is a plain text mailing list, and HTML often makes 
a mess.

(2) Spend some time learning R (e.g. read "An Introduction to R" from 
the R web site).  In particular learn about array indexing.

(3) It is not *at all* clear to me what you actually want to do.  A 
simple example of what you've got and what you want to get would help.

(4) What on earth do you mean by "a 1 dimension vector"?  A
1 dimensional vector is a scalar.  I can't believe that this is actually 
what you are talking about.  Please clarify.

cheers,

Rolf Turner
