Hello.  In using a straight-out-of-the-box Epoch 3.2 compiled on an Alliant
FX machine, using TWM from the R4 distribution, the Epoch minibuffer will
jump up and down in the window depth arranging hierarchy if the mouse
is left resting over both the editing window and the minibuffer window
simultaneously.  i.e.,

 [------------------------]
 |                        | <- Editing window
 |     [--------------------]  <- Minibuffer
 |     |         X          |
 |     [--------------------]
 |               ^Pointer |
 [------------------------]

Is this typical behavior?  I also seem to be unable to get consistent
behavior out of doing mouse clicks in the editing window.. certainly nothing
that makes any sense to me.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide to your faithful reporter..
