Hi Bob and Others, Someone on another list asked this question about how a sighted user can close apps in the app switcher when VoiceOver isn't running some time ago. Here's my post with instructions, which apparently worked for his wife, since he wrote back that she did see the little minus sign in a red dot at the top of the program's icon, and tapping that worked to close the app.
