Does raisePalettes not work in OSX?

[David Epstein]

With raisePalettes set to false, my palettes behave as expected in Mac
OS9.2, but in OSX 10.2.6 they remain "raised" even if raisePalettes is
false.  Do others experience this?

If so, is there a workaraound in OSX that would make a palette behave in an
"unraised" manner, i.e., behave like a normal document window, while still
looking like a palette (with the narrow title bar)?

Many thanks.
