NAME
       lower - Change a window's position in the stacking order

SYNOPSIS
       lower window ?belowThis?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________


DESCRIPTION
       If  the  belowThis  argument is omitted then the command lowers window so that it is below all of its
       siblings in the stacking order (it will be obscured by any siblings that  overlap  it  and  will  not
       obscure  any  siblings).  If belowThis is specified then it must be the path name of a window that is
       either a sibling of window or the descendant of a sibling of window.  In this case the lower  command
       will insert window into the stacking order just below belowThis (or the ancestor of belowThis that is
       a sibling of window); this could end up either raising or lowering window.
