It is a two dimension array, so I am surprised the single index slice [:] even works.
Well, a 2d array can be thought of as a 1d array of 1d arrays, so you're getting an array of all of those 1d arrays, making another 2d array. Seems to work that way in Numeric at least -- you get back a view covering the whole of the original array. -- Greg
