Backward Switch
The backward switch character reopens the next lower-numbered session that does not already appear in a
window. The session you reopen with the backward switch character appears in the window where you
entered it. For example, a port could have four active sessions, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. Session 2 appears
in the top window, and session 3 appears in the bottom window. If you enter the backward switch character
at session 3, the terminal server reopens session 1 in the bottom window. It does not reopen session 2
because this session already appears in the top window.
