From within my client program I would like to be able to
pop my 'parent window' forward.  (By 'parent window' I mean the
xterm window that the user used to start my program).  This would
allow me to use stderr and stdout for writing error messages. ( I know
there are better ways of informing the user of errors but for 
other reasons I need to be able to do this. )  Thanks for any info.
