Emacs 19.25, on a Sun Sparc 1 running SunOS 4.1.3.
MIT X11R5, using twm as the wm.

I have two frames displayed.  In one frame I try to get a man page, eg
"M-x man csh".  I immediately switch frames using M-x other-frame.
When the man page finally appears, it appears in the frame I just
switched to.  I think it should appear in the frame from which I ran
the man command.

If this can't be made the default, then perhaps a new value for
Man-notify (eg 'friendly-oldframe) could be used to specify this
behavior.
