In my first foray into frames, I am not having any success with the 
functions select-frame, raise-frame or lower-frame, or the 
customization variable focus-follows-mouse.  No errors, they just 
silently have no effect.  Yet the functions make-frame, 
frame-parameters,  set-frame-position, etc., all seem to work fine.

Any ideas what the problem might be?


Here is the platform I am working on:

system-configuration
"sparc-sun-solaris2.7"

system-type
usg-unix-v

emacs-version
"21.2.2"

window-system
x

Thanks in advance.
