Sandy,
I don't know if this is helpful to you, but I always use keyboard
shortcuts in preference to the mouse, since I find my hands are usually
already on / over the keyboard.

I remember these:
Alt+Esc - switch to next program or full screen window
Alt+Tab - shows the next program or full screen window in a box; if
this isn't the one you want, repeat pressing the Tab key
until you find it, then release the keys.
Ctrl+Esc- bring up the task list; select the desired task using the
Up / Down keys, then press Enter.

I was able to find the Warp 4 desktop in a figure in the IBM book
"Getting to Know Warp 4". (I haven't started my Warp 4 system in a
couple of years.) I see that the button you are referring to is the
second item on the WarpCenter. As far as I know, it does what Alt+Esc
would do.

I'll bet someone is going to tell you how to show that button, or that
choice in the eCenter, but I don't know how.
Colin
