Well you already have the correlation matrix, so you can just work from there. One of the profound equations in statistics is that r^2=r^2, meaning that to get r2 (as you call it, assuming you mean the coefficient of determination) just square the elements of the correlation matrix.
To get regression slopes, one equation is just b=s_y/s_x * r, so use the var function to get variances, diag to pull out just the diagonal, sqrt to get the standard deviations and then either matrix multiplication or the sweep function to multiply (divide) the correlations by the appropriate standard deviations and you will have a matrix of slopes. -- Gregory (Greg) L.
