Answer

Hold down the Option and Command buttons, and then click on the icon of the application you are using in the Dock. In other words, click on the icon of the application that is running.

This will hide all other applications.

Now if you hold down Option and Command buttons again and click on another icon of an application that is running (but obviously hidden at the moment) in your dock, the clicked application's window will show up and all other application windows will hide.
