multimap problem

valery (4)
Hi,
maybe someone could help me understand what is wrong here.
Below is a simple multimap studsubj, and I compare word_1,word_2 word_3 with it. I give these words the values exactly as they are in
studsubj, then compare. For example, if word_1 = "we" ( or "you" ) ,word_2 = "WORK", word_3 = "today" the match with studsubj is perfect.
The problem is lines starting with "THEY". To be more exact, the first line is ok, but comparing with any of the other two lines only has match with word_1, but not word_2 and word_3. Why?
Thank you very much.
