Hi,

I'm working on my bachelor-thesis and I'm trying to understand a few things. 
I'm wondering: Why is there the construct of the $super-parameter in 
Prototype's class-implementation? Is anything wrong with calling 
this.parent.myfunction()? Why did they implement that?

This is more of a theoretical question.. I just think there must be a reason 
for the $super thing..

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks
Lukas
