Build 506

Typing "this." causes a popup to let you select what field member to
insert after it - but if you have "foobar" already and you move the
cursor in front of it and type "this.foobar" it still pops up.  

I guess this would be a good place for me to repeat my request to have
a way to automatically prepend "this." to all instance variable
references and instance method calls.  

Even better would be some automatic tools for massaging references to
instance variables.  I'm currently cleaning up a lot of code that
refers to instance variables where it shouldn't.  It's turning out to
be quite tedious.

 [The coder before me on this code was working with multithreaded
  objects.  He had a bad habit of sticking some parameters into
  instance variables for convenience's sake.  There's no real advantage
  to doing this.  Maybe it's slightly easier than passing the
  parameters in each method call, or sticking the parameters into a
  class that gets passed around with each method call, but no real
  usefulness.  The disadvantage is that the entire class would need to
  be synchronized to be thread safe.]
