Yep. myArray[1] Can either have a value such as "cheese" OR it can hold more boxes/parking spaces/whatever. But there is no way to have myArray[1] contain "cheese" AND more boxes.
so if your array has myArray[1][2][3] and you put "Cheddar" into myArray[1] everything in myArray[1][2][3] goes away. So its either a value, or more boxes. You can see this in action with a simple script like this: put 1 into myArray[1][2][3] put the keys of myArray[1] & " First key put" & cr -- puts key 2 put 1 into myArray[1] put the keys of myArray[1] & " Second key put" after msg -- puts no keys because we wipe them out by putting a value in instead.
