[mg7033] (Q:) ReplacePart + SubMatrix replacement

As you comment in your full message (copied below ****) ReplacePart  
does not seem to perform as expected.
However:

A = Table[0,{3},{3}]
	{{0,0,0},{0,0,0},{0,0,0}}
B = Table[1,{3},{3}]
	{{1,1,1},{1,1,1},{1,1,1}}
A[[{1,3},{2,3}]] = B[[{1,3},{2,3}]];
A
	{{0,1,1},{0,0,0},{0,1,1}}
	
Of course, much more is possible using this technique

greetings:

Mma3.0 has added a form of ReplacePart not found in Mma2.2.2:

?ReplacePart[expr,new,pos,npos]

ReplacePart[expr,new,pos,npos] replaces parts at positions pos
	in expr by parts at positions npos in new.

For
A,B n-by-n,  matrices,
K  non empty subset of CartesianProduct[Range[n],Range[n]]

one can use

ReplacePart[A,B,K,{1,1}]

to replace the block A[[K]] with B[[1,1]]. (no problem)

what i wish ( though perhaps unrealistically) is

for

ReplacePart[A,B,K,K]

to replace the block A[[K]] with the block B[[K]].

am i misreading the above usage message for ReplacePart?

if so, how does one do a simple block replace in "one fell swoop"?

sincerely.
