>why VFP6 doesn't have intellisense, basically explaining the issues of a totally non-typed language that is late binding, etc.

There's no reason VFP couldn't have Intellisense for builtin functions. Nor for THIS.

But I'd hate to see them spend any time on this. What really needs to be done is to integrate the editor and debugger. After working with VC++, it's simply maddening not to be able to edit code in the Trace Window (or even to have to pull up a special window at all). And I've had only spotty success setting breakpoints while editing class code. I set the breakpoint, close the class, and the breakpoint is (usually) ignored.
