yeah, i think that you can't do something that complex with just lists. you
would have to work with arrays and/or structures. the only "problem" i can
see with the structure of structures you have above has to do with what
would you be using as your key for the outer structure? you would have to
dynamically generate it, which seems like it would be more effort than just
using the index that is inherent in an array. -emily
