<h4>Description</h4>

::Predicate

<p>

Send a message to <a class="glossary" title="Go to glossary definition" href="../../glossary.html#self">self</a>. Only used in the body of a predicate definition. The argument should match a public or protected predicate of <a class="glossary" title="Go to glossary definition" href="../../glossary.html#self">self</a>. It may also match a private predicate if the predicate is imported from a category, if used from inside a category, or when using private inheritance. We can also send a set of messages to self. The "<CODE>,</CODE>" and "<CODE>;</CODE>" in the list have the usual Prolog meaning.
