It has different uses depending on the system your using. I use Windows and by selecting ALT+F6 you can switch between multiple windows in the same program (for example, when the Notepad 'Find' dialogue box is displayed, ALT+F6 switches between 'Find' dialogue box and the main Notepad window)
Pressing F6 also moves among panes in Windows Explorer.
Hope this helps.

A tornado watch is a form of a advisory that the weather conditions are such that it is, or will be, possible for a tornado to develop.
It is important to note that a watch only refers to the possibility of development.
On the other hand a tornado warning indicates that visual confirmation of an actual tornado sighting has been reported by someone or that a tornado has been indicated by Doppler radar.
