Hi Simon, thanks for your reply.
A [I, J] seems to only work if the indices are *strides* as in your example. I need fancy indices (like I = (1,3,4), J = (0,3,5)), and for them A [I, J] won't do what I want. As you can see from the example session I posted it does not address the whole rectangle IxJ but only the elements (I_1, J_1), (I_2, J_2). E.g., if I==J this is the diagonal of the submatrix, not the full submatrix.
