What operating system?

Default window focus behavior is highly OS and even window manager
specific and is not an R issue.

Depending upon your OS and window manager, you may need to check the
documentation and/or do a Google search on "window focus" for further
information.

Another alternative, if you are on Windows, is to review Windows FAQ 5.4
"How do I move focus to a graphics window or the console?", but this is
a programmatic approach and not a means to affect default behavior.
