send_super(+Object, +Message)

The goal send_super/2 is actually not a predicate: it can be used as such in the context of a method declaration (see :->/2) and is expanded by the class-compiler into an appropriate send_class/3 call. Example:

:- pce_begin_class(myapp, frame).

initialise(A) :->
    send_super(A, initialise, 'My 1st application'),
    send(A, append, new(D, dialog)),
    ...

See also send_class/3, send/2 and get_super/3.
