I see, now.  Thanks.  What I needed to do was:

 1. C-h a "lower frame" <-- I looked up the same term in a search engine
 and then I recycled the use of the term 'bury' for 'lower' from
 familiarity with the commands on buffer list to write-up this feature
 request.

Thank you for your patience.

The two commands 'lower-frame' and 'raise-frame' are exactly what I was
wanting and they are already there in Emacs and work plainly according
to their name.  I didn't try to find them in the most obvious way, as above.
