Keeping windows together on Windows XP

[Jim Ault]

Actually, I use the F10 key... tap it twice and Expose will show/bring to
the front all the windows in the frontmost app.

Also, tab-switching by ( cmd-tab, cmd-shift-tab ) which will show the tab
display, then bring you back the the left-most app.
