Normally I have one window open when using epoch.
Due to this, I have set auto-raise-screen to nil (to prevent the window to raise
when pointing at the window) in my .emacs file.

Now I have found it very convenient to have two or more epoch applications
(windows) open at the same time (on different spots on the screen).
Sometimes I want an auto-raise and sometimes not.

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
