    The command-accent combination, which is the key below the escape key, will 
cycle you through open windows in an application.  Command-tab cycles you 
through your open applications.  For the help, try the command-accent or 
David's suggestion of using the window chooser menu with VO-F2 twice and then 
using the up and down arrows to see a list of your currently open windows.
