Thanks Terry:

I mentioned some of this in my response to Patrick, but, while the popup
box of string methods appears in the Interactive Window, it doesn't do
so in a script editing window - at least not until you've run the
script.  Also, when it does occur, all of the methods appear twice (at
least on my machine).  I also tested Idle, and while it too provides
function signatures, it doesn't support the method popup box.
