With Command Tab the Application has to be highlighted to stay on top so holding Command tap the Tab key to shift the highlighting to app you want.
Hi there,

Just to add this command works in 10.4.11 as well - I've just done a quick test by creating 30 empty folders on the desktop and used "Select all (apple+a)" to select them, then "open (apple+o)".
To close them all at once, instead of clicking "option+close", as you state, I used the keyboard shortcut "apple+option+w" which does exactly the same thing.
QUOTE Thanks
