matrix subsetting

[Heber Farnsworth]

How does one do matrix subsetting in a dynamically loaded function (.oct
file)?  I know how to put a whole matrix into a certain place in a
larger matrix using insert but I don't know how to do the reverse.  I
want to create a matrix out of part of an existing matrix.  In an m-file
you would write

Y = X(a:b,c:d);

Does anyone know how to do this?
