vikramchawa,

First you'll need to follow the instructions for task switching (the hildon UI only switch between hildonized apps). Follow the instructions on this page (look for "How to enable task switching"). Keep in mind that this modification will allow task switching for all the apps only if you have the default theme applied (I'm sure you'll know how to do it for the other themes).
Once you made the modifications you can change the apps by tapping in the section between the title of the app and the tray icons. Check this picture.
This modification is great also for fast switching.

vikramchawa,
You have to send the program to the background so you can use the prompt again. You do that by sending the CONTROL+Z (menu -> terminal -> send ctrl key) secuence. After you do that, you'll see the prompt again, but the app will be frozen, so you need to send it to the background, type the command "bg" and it will send de app to the background.
I hope this can help.

Free Background Check I recently found this site. It's pretty good. You can sign up for free and conduct your own background check or people search.
