Sounds like you got a helping of intellisense.  At first this feature
seems a nuisance.  But what about when your programing and you user
defined methods or when you just don't remember variables and constants
you have defined...this is where intellisense is a nice feature.
Personally, I think it's great.  I guess it's user preference.  I'm not
sure if you can turn it off or not...I've never tried.
