Gnome starts with gnome-session.  KDE starts with startkde to switch 
virtual terminals, ALT + F1 - F6 will get you to the different terminals. 
If you are in X, then you need to pres CTL + ALT + F1 - F6.   ALT + F7 
will get you back to your X session.

Two more questions:

How do you start the graphical system?  Remember I installed GNOME and 
KDE, 
but want GNOME.  Typing gnome didn't do anything.  Typing X seems to do 
something, I have an X on a graphically appearing screen (but all gray) 
and 
nothing else.

And, how do I switch terminals?  It has been a loooong time!  :)
