Hi,

  The following is implemented with function named subsetAll.  It calls the
function subset1.  The input to subset1 is the matrix A and a vector
indicating the beginning and ending values for columns 1 and 2.  Input to
subsetAll is the matrix A and a matrix that is row bind from those vectors
constitute the conditions.

> subset1
function(A,v)
{
A[A[,1] %in% v[1]:v[2] & A[,2] %in% v[3]:v[4],]
}
> subsetAll
function(A,m)
{
v <- as.vector(m[1,])
result <- subset1(A,v)
if (dim(m)[1] > 1)
{
for (i in 2:dim(m)[1])
{
v <- as.vector(m[i,])
result <- rbind(result,subset1(A,v))
}
}
result
}
