This looks like the solution.  It seems strange using WinSetWindowPos
to do something other than set coordinates, but it does the job.

One catch:  the focus does not automatically move to the new topmost
window after the call to WinSetWindowPos.  My code looks like this:

{
  HWND *ParentWindow, *Window, *ChildClientWindow;

  // Get client's frame handle.
  Window = WinQueryWindow (hWnd, QW_PARENT, FALSE);

  // Move topmost window to the bottom.
  WinSetWindowPos (Window,
		   HWND_BOTTOM,     // Put tuple at the bottom.
		   0, 0,	    // Ignored.
		   0, 0,	    // Ignored.
		   SWP_ZORDER);     // Look at hwndInsertBehind.

  // And later...
  WinSetFocus (HWND_DESKTOP, ChildClientWindow);
}
