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

     Combine a series of 'RGList' objects or combine a series of
     'MAList' objects.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     ## S3 method for class 'RGList':
     cbind(..., deparse.level=1)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

     ...: 'RGList' objects or 'MAList' objects

deparse.level: not currently used, see 'cbind' in the base package

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The matrices of expression data from the individual objects are
     cbinded. The data.frames of target information, if they exist, are
     rbinded. The combined data object will preserve any additional
     components or attributes found in the first object to be combined.

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

     An 'RGList' or 'MAList' object holding data from all the arrays
     from the individual objects.

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

     'cbind' in the base package.
