Here is a change I made to the matrix.Rd file...

<     \code{list} of length 2 giving the row and column names
respectivly.}
---
>     \code{list} of length 2.}
65,75d64
<
< # Example of setting row and column names
< data <- matrix(c(16522,34057,40949,
<                  19924,46032,55185),
<                nrow=2, ncol=3,
<                byrow=TRUE,
<                dimnames = list(
<                  c('PDB','MSD'),
<                  c('Entry','Chain','Domain')
<                  )
<                )


I also tried to create some instructions here...

(which you must feel free to edit (you can delete it entirly if you
like!)).

All the best,
Dan.
