Can somebody tell me how to set a submatrix of a larger matrix?
Assume a is a larger matrix than b. I would like to do something
like

  a[[Range[i1,i2],Range[j1,j2]]]=b;

Unfortunately, this does not work, and the Mathematica-book of
Wolfram doesn't tell me how to do it. It just says that

  a[[Range...

is the way to *extract* things from a matrix.
