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

SYNOPSIS
       raise window ?aboveThis?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________


DESCRIPTION
       If  the  aboveThis  argument is omitted then the command raises window so that it is above all of its
       siblings in the stacking order (it will not be obscured by any siblings and will obscure any siblings
       that overlap it).  If aboveThis 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  raise  command  will
       insert  window  into  the stacking order just above aboveThis (or the ancestor of aboveThis that is a
       sibling of window); this could end up either raising or lowering window.
