The online tutorial shows, in the layers window, an uparrow and a downarrow, supposedly used to change the level of the current layer:
Move Layer Up

This will move the current layer to a higher position in the layer order.
Move Layer Down

This will move the current layer to a lower position in the layer order.

However, these arrows do not appear in my program. Also, I'm not clear on the function of "move layer up", since the current layer is the top layer, isn't it? So, how do I push the current layer back, so that the one behind it becomes the current layer? (At present I have only two layers in the picture I'm working on.)

I installed version 3.5.10 either yesterday or the day before, so it is current.

(In fact, there is no "layer window" as such, just a pull-down menu.)
