As you see, I can't get started with this until I get a handle on the  
notation.
You are correct that Rev won't compile
house[kitchen][refrigerator][top shelf]
but it will compile using the syntax
house["kitchen"]["refrigerator"]["top shelf"]

I left out the quotes so it would read better.

So the syntax would be
put "cheese, pickles, butter" into house["kitchen"]["refrigerator"] 
["top shelf"]

Hope this helps,
