Tip o' the day
OK, I don't have a "Tip o' the day" so this is, uh, just... "Tip."
Pressing the F9 key in Panther activates Exposé. Tapping it three times gets Exposé to stick, so you can more easily pick a window.
Ah-haaaaah...
We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.
ADDENDUM: D'OH! Jeff Carlson (he of TidBITS fame), in comments, corrects me on my "Tip". Just tapping the F9 key ONCE makes Exposé stick! Well, sure, but it ALSO works if you tap it three times. And there's a dance you should do as well.
See, this is why I don't have a "Tip o' the day" feature. I'm an idiot. And THEN, to top it off, I get corrected by someone from TidBITS, which is just shy of having Steve Jobs drive over to your house and explain how it works. Ugh.
