Call Waiting Flash

This is a stupid question, but I never had it right on any phone. I can figure out complex things, but:

When I answer a call waiting, how do I switch back and forth between the original conversation? Do I press send? Is there any way to conference other than Google Voice?

The blurb below is from the Eris manual. This is for 1.5, however I expect it's very close the the same (if not exactly the same) on 2.1.

Handling multiple calls
Your phone notifies you when you have another incoming call, and
gives you the option of rejecting or accepting the call. If you are
already on a call and accept the new call, you can choose to switch
between the two callers.

1. Press the CALL button
to accept the second call
and put the first call on
hold.

2. To switch between callers,
tap the person you want
to talk to on the screen.

3. To end the current call
and return to the other
call, tap End call.

Oh, yeah forgot to answer the other question.
This is also from the 1.5 manual.

Setting up a conference call
1. Make a call to the first conference call participant.
2. When connected, press MENU, tap Add call, dial the number of
the second participant, and then tap Call. The first participant is
put on hold when you dial the second participant.
3. When connected to the second participant, tap (merge).
4. To add another participant to the conference call, tap on the
conference call screen, and then dial the number of the contact
you want to invite to the conference call.
