In converting from twm to fvwm2, the last thing I haven't solved
is an equivalent function for f.circleup (CirculateUp in fvwm
terminology). Google hasn't been much help. Does anyone have a
pointer to a usable function for this purpose?

I don't need to handle icons, just plain windows, and all the
windows are in layer 4. I just need something to reverse
lowering of the highest window.

Thanks,

I think you are looking for Next/Prev.
Look in the FAQ questions 3.3 and 3.4 which touch on this.

Thanks for the tips. The Next/Prev commands look like they're
close to what I want. However, it looks like they operate only
on time order of focus. What I want is window stacking order,
independent of which windows have had recent focus. Perhaps,
I'll have to write a short C program to scan the window tree to
find the one on the bottom of the stack.

I see "ALL" has a "UseStack" option but I don't see the same for
Next/Prev.

Not that I know everything Fvwm can do. I think I used to but
there are so many options and commands now...
