try vo-f2 twice to bring up a list of open windows.

So, when I press command-tab twice, it doesn't bring me to the previously open 
help topic I left. It only switches me to the other application windows or 
brings me back to the same VO utilities window. If I go to the menu and arrow 
down the windows options, I only see one applications window available to 
choose from. Is one of those other options on that windows drop-down the one I 
need to take me back to the topic I left? How does one switch to different 
windows within an application window?
