I normally hit the escape until it takes me back level by level, then I use
the VO keys with H, or press the home button on the iPod itself. I haven't
worked out how to close an app on the keyboard yet. Our resident guru
Gordon Keane might be able to help there.

Hi Jacky
Thanks for that. Should have some eyes today to have a look at the manual.
But can you close an app with the keyboard?
