Using CTRL-SPACE to complete a variable (like in VB6)

I'm a VB6 programmer, getting my first tastes of VB.NET. One thing that I've
found IMMENSELY helpful in VB6 is the ability to type the beginning of a
variable name (either in code, or in the immediate window), and then
pressing CTRL-SPACE, and having it either fill in the rest of the name (if
there is only one variable matching what I typed so far), or giving me a
list to choose from, for the variable names.
However, in VB.NET, I'm not having a lot of luck doing that in immediate
mode... It seems that I can do it in the code itself (when in design mode),
but if I stop at a breakpoint, and try to look at variables via the
immediate/command window, I can't seem to use that CTRL-SPACE shortcut.
Is that something that's been removed for VB.NET? Or is it something I just
have to enable (somehow)?
Thanks!

Looks like you are using VB 2002. In VB 200*3* intellisense has been added
to the immediate/command window.
