Lindy, What Don told you is exactly how it works. Way back when all you had was 2 screens to swap between, you had the primary and secondary screen (I think that is the correct terminology). Hitting PF9 bounced between primary and secondary. The screen you are currently looking at is obviously the primary screen. Along came IBM now giving us the capability of having up to 32 screens (by default limited to 8). IBM didn't ditch the concept of primary and secondary. Pressing PF9 with its default of SWAP still swaps between primary and secondary screens. One way to which are your primary and secondary screens is to do a SWAP LIST command. The drop down this gives you shows which are the screens SWAP will swap between. The primary screen is shown with an asterisk beside the screen ID, and the secondary is shown with a hyphen beside the screen ID.
Others have given you ideas about how they have their PFKeys set up so I'll give mine. I just leave PF9 alone at SWAP. I have PF19 set to SWAP PREV, PF20 set to SWAP NEXT, and PF21 set to SWAP LIST. HTH.
