Switching programs
You can switch to another open program by choosing its name from the
Application menu.
If a program’s icon is dimmed in the menu, that means its windows are
hidden. Choosing the program from the Application menu displays its
windows.
You can also switch to another program by clicking in a window that belongs
to an open program or by double-clicking a program icon (or the icon of a
document that was created with the program).
Hiding and showing windows on the desktop
You can hide all windows except those of the active program by choosing
Hide Others from the Application menu. The other programs remain open
even though their windows are hidden. When you switch to another program,
its windows become visible again.
You can hide the active program by choosing the menu item that has “Hide”
next to the program’s name in the Application menu. For example, if the
Finder is active, you can hide it by choosing Hide Finder from the
Application menu.
If you want to see all the open windows, choose Show All from the
Application menu.
