16  <h1>History Page Help</h1>
17
18  <p>The History Page displays all of the links that you have
19  traveled through to reach your current point, including any
20  temporary menu or list files that included links, bookmark files,
21  and any documents associated with POST content. If you entered a
22  document and then left it by using the <em>left-arrow</em> key,
23  it will <em>not</em> be in the history stack. If you entered a
24  document and left it by selecting another link within that
25  document, it <em>will</em> be in the history stack.</p>
26
27  <p>You may <a href="movement_help.html">select</a> any link on
28  the History Page to review a document that you have previously
29  visited. That link, and any subsequent to it, will not be removed
30  from the history stack if you return to it via the History Page.
31  You thus should use a History Page link, rather than the
32  <em>left-arrow</em> key, if you wish to review previous documents
33  without needing to remember and repeat the series of selections
34  for reaching your currently displayed document.</p>
35
36  <p>Upon using <em>left-arrow</em> in the document selected via
37  the History Page, you will be returned to the document from which
38  you initially went to the History Page.</p>
39
40  <p>If a previously visited link has been removed from the history
41  stack, and it was not a temporary menu or list file, bookmark
42  file, or document associated with POST content, it can still be
43  selected conveniently via the <a href="visited_help.html">Visited
44  Links Page</a>. The latter also will include links which were
45  '<em>d</em>'ownloaded or passed to a helper application, and thus
46  were not included in the history stack.</p>
