 Synopsis

         Send message to self

 Syntax

         ::<message>[ ( [<parameter list>] ) ]

 Arguments

         <message> is the name of the message to be sent to self.

         <parameter list> is the list of parameters to be sent to the
         method being invoked.

 Description

         The double-colon is shorthand for a message send to self, used
         inside a method.

         For example, instead of an expression such as self:aMsg, the
         double colon can be used, as in ::aMsg. Examples of this
         abound in the sample source.

         When messages to self are being sent often, which is the case
         in most methods, this abbreviation can make code far more
         readable. Its use is recommended.
