- I have an application that consists of a window and several dialog boxes. I
- used to use "tvtwm" and was able to lower dialog boxes so that the parent
- window was in front of them. Now, I'm using "vuewm" and others where I work
- are using "mwm". Some of this application's dialog boxes contain display-
- only information and take up a good portion of the screen. If it is desir-
- able to leave the display-only dialog box up and still be able to see what's
- in the parent window and use its menus, I need to be able to bring the win-
- dow back on top and move the dialog box to the back.
-
- Surely, there is some Motif resource that I can set that will allow me to do
- this. Can anyone help me out here? Please send me email.
