I'm using Visual Slickedit (Win32/NT4)
VS is programmable (I found Python syntax coloring for it, which is cool)
but I don't know it well enough to program auto-completions (not sure
if that is do-able, either) and I don't really like to use auto-completions.

I thought this was only allowed immediately at the top of a file or class or
function
before any other statements.  This is very useful.
