RowMat    --    single row matrix


Syntax 
RowMat(L: LIST): MAT
RowMat(R: RING, L: LIST): MAT

Description
This function returns the matrix whose only row consists of the elements of the list L.

The first form produces a matrix over QQ if all entries in L are of type INT or RAT. If L contains any entries of type RINGELEM then the matrix is over the ring these elements belong to.

The second form produces a matrix over R, and requires that the elements of L be INT, RAT or RINGELEM belonging to R.

Example 
/**/  RowMat([3,4,5]);
matrix(QQ,
 [[3, 4, 5]])

/**/  RowMat(QQ,[5,6,7]);
matrix(QQ,
 [[5, 6, 7]])
