Oh, man. Major problem. It looks like Adventuron doesn't fully support hyphenated nouns, like "ice-box". You can define an object description with a hyphenated noun and you can define a synonym with a hyphenated noun, but you can't use hyphens in the object id or a match statement. It looks like the workaround is to define the object with the correct object description, but use an abbreviated object id. Define a synonym with the abbreviated and full name and use the abbreviated word in the match statement.

Thanx Garry you are like a marvellous Interactive fiction dictionary.  I think I will streer clear of hyphens for now and use one word objects unless it becomes to much of an eyesore.  The vocabulary section was a good top as well. I had forgotten about that since it was not in the sample code. 

I've got a hyphenated noun in mine and I think I've got it working properly, so there's no need to avoid it completely.
