creating a list of matrices or data frames

Hi all,
How would you create a list of data.frames within a loop, then bind all
the elements of the list using rbind?
take this example of matrices with differing numbers of rows
for(i in 1:3){
assign(paste("s",i, sep=""),matrix(data = NA, nrow = i, ncol = 3, byrow
= FALSE, dimnames = NULL))
}
s1
s2
s3
I want to bind all the matrices at the end with do.call(rbind...)
rather than listing all the elements manually with rbind(s1,s2,s3...)
and so on.
thanks in advance.
df.list <- vector("list", 3) # create list
for(i in 1:3){df.list[[i]] <- matrix(data = NA,
nrow = i,
ncol = 3,
byrow = FALSE,
dimnames = NULL)}
do.call(rbind, df.list) # rbind list elements
Simon.
