Here is an equivalent if I understand twm correctly.
Style "*" CirculateSkip
Style "emacs" CirculateHit
Style "xdvi" CirculateHit
Style "Ediff" CirculateHit
Style ghostview CirculateHit
Key L5 A A Next (!Iconified CurrentDesk) SwitchToWindow
AddToFunc SwitchToWindow
+ I Focus
+ I Raise
+ I WarpToWindow 50 10p
There are other solutions not using CirculateSkip/CirculateHit. With some
function programming you can make several window-rings. You can also use
WindowListSkip/WindowListHit style options and WindowList (for example
bound to Alt-Tab) to show only certain applications.

Try 'man fvwm2'. This is your main reference, there are also man pages for
all modules, like FvwmPager, FvwmButtons.

These are most probably m4 files, i.e. they are first preprocessed using
FvwmM4 to get the real fvwm configuration. See 'info m4' for m4 syntax.
It is possible to create ~/.fvwm2rc without any preprocessing.
