Wait, wait,not so fast. I get that arrays are hierarchical. But I  
need to know what you mean by the line  above.

  RR won't compile [top shelf], is "shelf" a parameter associated  
with "top"? Or was it an abbreviation  for top_shelf or maybe  topShelf?

And what happens to the trailing "cheese,pickles, butter"? is this  
now the array element assigned to house[kitchen][refrigerator][top  
shelf]

As you see, I can't get started with this until I get a handle on the  
notation.
