"this me"?

[Mark Schonewille]

Monte,

Why do you want "this me" to have sense outside a behavior script, if 
the only place where it will be used is in a behavior script?

Apparently, "this group", "this control" etc. is not a synonym of "me" 
because currently "this group", "this control" etc. throws an execution 
error while "me" doesn't. That makes "this group", "this control" etc. a 
very feasible candidate.
