67 Installing and Using Application Programs
Switching applications
You can switch to another open application or desk accessory by choosing its
name from the Application menu.
If an application’s icon is dimmed in the Application menu, that means its
windows are hidden. You can still choose the application from the menu,
however, to display the application’s windows.
You can also switch to another application by clicking in a window that
belongs to the other application or by double-clicking its icon.
Hiding and showing windows on the desktop
You can hide all windows except those of the active application by opening
the Application menu and choosing Hide Others.
The other applications remain open even though their windows are hidden.
When you switch to another application its windows become visible again.
If you want to see all the open windows, open the Application menu and
choose Show All.
