Ok, here is an example….

I am currently in a help window that has … here is an even better example of 
not having a clue of something that should be (and needs to be) understood by a 
neophyte.

As I am writing this message, I switch to another window where I'm working with 
a help topic. I switch back to this window to write something and when I use 
the "command-tab" hoping to return to the help window… I end up back in the 
VoiceOver utilities area. Not the help topic I thought I would be going to. How 
do I make this simple switch from one window to another without having to 
navigate back to the topic layer after linked layer?

This is the sort of thing that I never had to think about before.
