For Safari and most applications it's cmd-~ (tilde). That's not 100% true for everything, but it's a pretty well-accepted standard at this point.

one more question along this line...
what is the keyboard shortcut for closing just one sarafi window, such as alt-f4 in windows. (yes im a new switcher). if i press command q, it closes the whole program. i just want to close one window.
thanks!

Is it not reasonable to anticipate that our understanding of the human mind would be aided greatly by knowing the purpose for which it was designed?

Command W.
This will work in all apps. (you can find the keyboard shortcuts in the menus.)

A command-key equivalent is usually shown right next to each menu item.
EDIT: Diggory beat me to it!

Command-O opens folders.
You might also want to switch to Column view and use the keyboard arrows to navigate.

Nope. There's no "correct" way to do it. You're just used to the Windows way.
Command-down-arrow will also do it (and command-up-arrow will move you back up)

If you mean switch between *tabs* you can use the keyboard shortcut of Cmd-Shift-Left/RIght arrow.

Actually, in Panther you can see and change many key combos (including cmd-~ to switch between windows of a single app) in a system preference. Just go to
System Preference -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts
