This issue is in regard to intellisense and the use of the ampersand (&) character in classic ASP, or VBScript language blocks.

Whenever an ampersand is typed (ie sString=sFirstName & sSurname), the intellisense pops up and by default, selects '&A a c u t e;'. (Without the spaces).

Please advise if there's anything I can do to prevent this behaviour (without losing intellisense all together), or please consider this issue. Who wants '&A a c u t e;' when they type an ampersand in VBScript, widely accepted syntax in vb-esque languages for string concatination purposes.

Otherwise, I love the expression editor, evidenced by the fact I still use it, despite this most inconvenient 'feature'.

Best Regards, and thanks in advance.
