These side effects of the Focus command work regardless of the focus
policy. You may read about this command and its argument. There are a lot
of other good things in the man page.
If you want something else than just focus with page change (not desk
change if you work on the same desk), then create a function, like:
DestroyFunc MySwitchToWindow
AddToFunc MySwitchToWindow
+ I Iconify off
+ I Focus # or FlipFocus
+ I Raise
+ I WarpToWindow 10p 10p

There is TestRc command in 2.5.x that basically implements the "else"
statement for conditional commands like Next.
There is a way to implement a similar if-else construction in 2.4.x too,
using a temporary function that you create in the condition (and before
it), and then execute such function. But I would rather suggest to use
2.5.10 than such hack.
