Tom, to make the programmes appear in a list, hold down the Apple key
and tap the Tab key. A list of open programmes will appear across the
screen. While still holding the Apple key down, press the Tab key and
you can move along the list of open programmes. When you get to the
one you want to use, just release the Apple key.
You can close down the programmes you don't need using this method
too, by holding the Apple key and pressing the tab key to highlight
the one you want to close, then while still holding the Apple key,
press the Q key. If you keep holding the Apple key and pressing tab
then Q, then tab then Q... you can go along the list closing them all
down. Pays not to quit Finder however.
Hope this helps,
Cheers

However, there are a few things in OS-9 that I miss, or maybe I
just don't know how to do the same in 10. For instance, I liked the
way all the active programs would be listed on a menu in the upper
right corner of the screen in 9, and you could just pick the one
you wanted to come to the front off that menu. In 10, picking their
icons off the dock among all the other icons is a lot clumsier, and
the little black triangles that are supposed to show you which
programs are active are hard to spot. Is there a way to make active
programs appear in a menu as a list, as in OS-9?
Tom
