Making window active while behind another window

I was at the Boston introduction party yesterday, so I got my first
look at OS/2 2.0.  It looked and acted very much like MSWindows.  One
of the things that I cannot do with windows that I would like to be
able to do is have a window that is partially obscured become the
active window (i.e. recieve keyboard input).  The main reason I would
like to do this to allow a user interface that allows me to just move
the mouse to the window and make it active without clicking in it
(okay, I'm a little lazy, but it makes a difference), but there are
other reasons.  

Is there a way to make the window active without having it pop into
the foreground?  Can somebody who has used OS/2 2.0 for a period of
time answer this?  Can an IBMer answer this?

Thanks,
