[jawsscripts] Re: AltTab, what script or function fires when pressed?

I am not sure what function gets called when pressing Alt+Tab, but the 
SwitchToPreviousApp (2) function performs this function.  The single 
parameter is the number of times to simulate pressing the combination.  One 
is the default.  Perhaps looking at this function will help.
