	The epoch.el file is loaded into Epoch when it is "dumped" at
compile-time; therefore auto-raise-screen's default value is t, and
changing epoch.el after the fact will have no effect.  To set it to
nil, insert the following line into your .emacs file:   

	(setq auto-raise-screen nil)

	In general, the .emacs file (or other personal elisp files
loaded from it) is the place to override default settings like that.
