That is what the FRONT key is for.  (That's L5 on older Sun keyboards, I
don't know what it would be bound to for other machines.)  If the window
is on top, the FRONT key moves it to the bottom, otherwise it moves it to
the top.  You can also click on the window border to bring it to the top;
or use the frame menu to lower it.

This is covered in the OpenWindows Version 2 User's Guide (page 30).
I advise all new users of OpenWindows to read (or at least skim through)
the User's Guide.  The mouse and menu operations are also covered in
the Open Look Graphical User Interface Functional Specification.  (The
use of the FRONT key should be, but I can't find it off hand...)  I
advise all serious Open Look users or developers to read the OLGUIFS...
