     array(x, dim=length(x), dimnames=NULL)

     as.array(x)
     is.array(x)

_V_a_l_u_e:

     An array with the extents specified in `dim' and naming
     information in `dimnames'.  The values in `x' are taken
     to be those in the array with the leftmost subscript
     moving fastest.  If there are too few elements in `x'
     to fill the array, then the elements in `x' are recy-
     cled.

     `as.array' coerces its argument to be an array by
     attaching a `dim' attribute to it.  The sole purpose of
     this is to make it possible to access the `dim' attri-
     bute at a later time.

     `is.array' returns `TRUE' or `FALSE' depending on
     whether its argument is an array (i.e. has a `dim'
     attribute) or not.
