  /eric/ I am sure this is a FAQ (but I didn't see a FAQ list), but is
  /eric/ there any command- line argument that stops Epoch from
  /eric/ automatically popping itself up over other windows (I have
  /eric/ forgotten what the precise X-terminology for that is).  When
  /eric/ I am running programs that put small windows over my Epoch
  /eric/ window, it is really annoying to have epoch draw over my
  /eric/ program, and then I have to iconfy or move Epoch out of the
  /eric/ way to see my program.  Most irritating.  Don't tell me I
  /eric/ have to recompile, I will be very unhappy. :-(.  BTW, I am
  /eric/ running OpenWindows on a Sparc-2.

From the FAQ (etc/EPOCH-FAQ):

C-3: How do I stop the windows from automatically raising upon entry?
  
  The easiest way to do this, if you're running Epoch 4.0b0 or later, is
  to specify the following in your .emacs file:
  
    (setq auto-raise-screen 'minibuf)
  
  If you're running a version of Epoch prior to Epoch 4.0b0, the
  following code also works:
  
    (setq auto-raise-screen nil)
    (push (function (lambda () (raise-screen (minibuf-screen)))) 
      *select-screen-hook*)
  
  Both of the above solutions still make the minibuffer raise when an
  Epoch edit window is entered; if you don't want the minibuffer to
  raise itself either, just do the following instead:
  
    (setq auto-raise-screen nil)
