It seems to me that the real problem is that he never clearly explained
his problem, at least clearly enough for people to understand what he
wants done. The only way to do that is to give an example. If your
intrpretation of the problem is correct than there are lots of
solutions, and there is no need to use AppendRows or AppendColumns,
whcih ar ein any case, not Mathematica functions but a package
functions, whcih makes quite a lot of diffrence actually.
Anyway, let me illustrate one approach by an example. Suppose the matri
of lists is:
A = {{{x, y}, {u, v}}, {{m, n}, {p, q}}}
and suppose the new row you wna to add is:
newrow = {{x, z}, {t, s}}
Thenthe following will do it:
Flatten[{A, {newrow}}, 1]
