AutoRaise in DECwindows?

We have several DECstation 5000s running DECwindows with Ultirx 4.0.
I generally prefer the working environment of twm over DECwindows,
but for these workstations dxwm is all we've got.  So here's a question:

Is it possible to make windows receive focus automatically
as the mouse cursor moves into them?

With the current setup, moving from one dxterm to another requires a
mouse mouse click in the second window to shift the keyboard input focus
to it from the first.  I find this behaviour quite annoying.

I have tried setting DXterm*autoRaise:on  but it did not seem to have
the effect that I thought it should.  I would appreciate any help
that the net can give me in this matter.
