     paste(..., sep = " ", collapse = NULL)

_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     `paste' converts its arguments to character strings,
     and concatenates them (separating them by the string
     given by `sep').  If a value is specified for `col-
     lapse', the values in the result are then concatenated
     into a single string, with the elements being separated
     by the value of `collapse'.

     The concatenated value is returned as the value of
     `paste'.

_S_e_e _A_l_s_o:

     `as.character', `substr', `nchar', `strsplit'.

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     paste(1:12) # same as as.character(..)
     paste("A", 1:6, sep = "")
     paste("Today is", date())
