How do i switch between windows in the same workspace when working in
CDE?
The style managed gives options to make a window active by either
moving the mouse over it or by clicking on it.
Once a window is selected, to move to another window we have to wither
move the mouse or click on the other window depending on style
configuration.
Is there a way to move between windows using only the keyboard? (Like
Alt+Tab in MSwindows)
Some sites suggest that Alt_Tab works the same way in CDE but if u are
connecting to a remote machine by VNC or CITRIX, the ALT+TAB will move
between MS windows and that VNC window.. and not within the same
workspace...

In CDE, ALT-uparrow and ALT-downarrow cycle through the windows.
ALT-F3 is also useful (send window to the back of the pile).

These depend on the dtwm picking up these and managing the windows,
and I'm not sure how this happens when you're displaying to Windows
which has it's own concept of window manager running on top.
