I do have auto-raise-screen set to nil and it does do what I want
UNTIL I do a cut and paste or manually set the point in a buffer by
using the left button. From then on, I am stuck with click-to-focus,
which I DESPISE :-(

Is this a bug or a feature? This is Epoch version 3.2.2.

       The difference between theory and practice in practice is greater
           than the difference between theory and practice in theory.
