A friend showed me a key sequence that does it (which I promptly forgot).

Multitasking isn't officially supported as I understand it because the toaster
eats so much of the Amiga.  Evidently it works, though.  Just don't expect to
be able to do much.

The key sequence was something unusual like <ESC> <CTL> <CTL> <CTL>.  This is
not necessarilly the correct key sequence, but it is something like this.  The
same sequence popped us back into the switcher.
