Via mouse (blargs):
On the toolbar, click the arrow

Via keyboard:
Depends on what you configured it for.  If you have a blackbox >= 0.6,
you need to use bbkeys to use keyboard-shortcuts.  The relevant section
of my ~/.bbkeysrc reads:

[...]
KeyToGrab(Left), WithModifier(Control+Mod1), WithAction(LeftWorkspace)
KeyToGrab(Right), WithModifier(Control+Mod1), WithAction(RightWorkspace)
KeyToGrab(Up), WithModifier(Control+Mod1), WithAction(UpWorkspace)
KeyToGrab(Down), WithModifier(Control+Mod1), WithAction(DownWorkspace)
[...]

Note that I have my workspaces arranged in a 3x3 matrix, which requires
the following lines in your bbkeys-configuration file (say,
~/.bbkeys.bb):

[...]
bbkeys.columns:               3
bbkeys.rows:                  3
[...]

And subsequently, if you want to use bbpager, the following in your
~/.bbpager.bb (or wherever you keep the configuration):

[...]
bbpager.columns:               3
bbpager.rows:                  3
[...]

Sorry for being so verbose ;-)
