I'm sorry the book isn't helping just yet. The home screens of the phone are laid out in 4 columns and 5 or six rows depending on the size of the phone. I think you said you have a 4S. So, you may only have 5 total rows, I honestly can't remember. This does not count the status bar at the top. But, each app can lay out their screen any way they like. So, one of the best things to do with an app you are not sure about is to slowly slide your finger down the left side of the screen first and get an idea of what there is along that side. Then, carefully start at the top left just below the status bar and slowly slide from left to right. Then, start back at the left and slide down until you find the next item below where you started the first time and again, go slowly left to right, etc.
Now, most apps put the Add, Edit or Done buttons in the upper right. tuneIn is a good example of an exception to that since they put their edit button in the upper left. VoiceDream Reader has the Add button in the lower left. So, with each app it will take some exploring. As for finding things in the book, Getting Started with the iPhone, I don't recall the phrase she used for the app switcher. It could be called, switching apps or something. I would recommend going through the settings section. You will find the Auto-Lock feature explained. On the phone it is located under Settings, General.

I have the Dresner book. It's got all kinds of stuff not important to me just yet. I have to scan through for what I need right now - it has not proven to be a useful start from page 1 to the appendix. For example it starts with configuring a new phone and then physical description then settings. I haven't yet read a description of how the home pages are laid out. I tried doing searches to bring things up like the app switcher and it didn't find anything. That is why I started to get back up people help which has taught me far more quickly. I'll get there. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
