I only now realize that the thread down from this message was off-list,
sorry. Alex's instruction of Alt/F7 is also correct, but not
identically: At the virtual console, Alt/F1 through Alt/F12(I think) go
directly to console numbers 1 through 12 if they exist, respectively,
while Alt/Right Arrow and Alt/Left Arrow wrap around up and down through
them all. The DE is usually, but not always, on console number 7, which
is usually, but not always, the last console, so if both are the case,
then Alt/Left Arrow and Alt/F7 would be equivalent after having pressed
Ctrl/Alt/F1. The Alt/Right Arrow and Alt/Left Arrow will not work in the
DE, and Alt/F1 through Alt/F12(or whatever) only work with Ctrl also
pressed, e.g. the Ctrl/Alt/F1 previously instructed.
