It seems like most people agree that this patch is useful! Great!

Now, it does not have to be the current terminal. You can implement it
in exactly the same way as in OS/2's PM terminal.

command.h:
+#ifdef OS2
+extern void pm_raise_terminal_window();
+#endif
+#ifdef X11
+extern void x11_raise_terminal_window(   maybe option for 1 window );
+#endif

command.c:

+#ifdef OS2
+    pm_raise_terminal_window();
+#endif
+#ifdef X11
+    x11_raise_terminal_window(  ...an option for 1 window only...);
+    /* if (one_window) { only one } */
+#endif


x11.trm:
+void
+x11_raise_terminal_window( ... )
+{
+    putc(SET_SPECIAL, PM_pipe);
+    putc('^', PM_pipe); /* raise window */
+    fflush(PM_pipe);
+}
.. I think it is X11_pipe or X11_ipc


+ code in gplt_x11.c to accept and react to '^' (go through the window list
and raise them)

I wish to see your nice patch :-))
