   Therefore I tried M-x set-variable to set auto-raise-screen to
   screen.  The set-variable function does not allow any setting of
   this variable.

   Why can't I set this variable? Any clues?

This is because auto-raise-screen wasn't declared to be a user option
(by putting a star (*) as the first character in the doc string) in
the epoch-lisp source.  So, the function set-variable won't operate on
it.

What you can do is this:

  M-x eval-expression RETURN (setq auto-raise-screen 'screen) RETURN

Or equivalently:

  ESC ESC (setq auto-raise-screen 'screen) RETURN

Hope this helps,

Marc
