Subject: [R] keep dimension of a sub matrix


Hi,
is there any way to keep a sub matrix dimension?

exemple :
i1<-1; i2<-1
j1<-2; j2<-3;
ret <-matrix(1,4,4)[i1:i2,j1:j2] ;

dim(ret) is NULL because the submatrix single col or single row is 
coerce to a vector automaticaly.
How can i bypass this cast  : submatrix->vector   ???????

Thank you.
