There is no "fvwm3". And strictly speaking, no "fvwm2", there are several
not fully compatible 2.x series. It is one evolving "fvwm" project.

I am not sure what these keys do exactly in CDE. Probably it should be
"Raised", not "!Raised" in the second line.

Anyway, I think it is currently impossible to emulate such behaviour.
The condition "Raised" is not good if there are more than one raised
windows on the screen or CirculateSkip windows or windows on higher
layers. There should be another condition, something like
HighestInTheBlockOfWindowsOfTheSameLayerUnderPointer or HighestNearPointer
for short. Since "!HighestNearPointer" is useless for this situation
(it returns any window not in the block as well) there should be more
conditions like LowestNearPointer (not very useful for this Lower/Raise
situation) or SecondHighestNearPointer (useful).

But maybe I just overestimate what CDE does, and this emulates it fine:

  Key Up A M Prev (CurrentPage, Layer, AcceptsFocus) FocusWith Lower
  Key Down A M Next (CurrentPage, Layer, AcceptsFocus) FocusWith Raise

  DestroyFunc FocusWith
  AddToFunc FocusWith
  + I Focus
  + I $0
  #+ I WarpToWindow 50 50

Mikhael.
