+ <p><strong>Lynx</strong>'s History Page displays all of the links
+ that you have traveled through to reach your current point,
+ including any temporary menu or list files that included links,
+ bookmark files, and any documents associated with POST content.
+ If you entered a document and then left it by using the
+ <em>left-arrow</em> key, it will <em>not</em> be in the history
+ stack. If you entered a document and left it by selecting another
+ link within that document, it <em>will</em> be in the history
+ stack.</p>
+
+ <h2><a name="navigation" id="navigation">Navigation</a></h2>
+
+ <p>You may <a href="movement_help.html">select</a> any link on
+ the History Page to review a document that you have previously
+ visited. That link, and any subsequent to it, will not be removed
+ from the history stack if you return to it via the History Page.
+ You thus should use a History Page link, rather than the
+ <em>left-arrow</em> key, if you wish to review previous documents
+ without needing to remember and repeat the series of selections
+ for reaching your currently displayed document.</p>
+
+ <p>Upon using <em>left-arrow</em> in the document selected via
+ the History Page, you will be returned to the document from which
+ you initially went to the History Page.</p>
+
+ <p>If a previously visited link has been removed from the history
+ stack, and it was not a temporary menu or list file, bookmark
+ file, or document associated with POST content, it can still be
+ selected conveniently via the <a href="visited_help.html">Visited
+ Links Page</a>. The latter also will include links which were
+ &ldquo;<em>d</em>&rdquo;ownloaded or passed to a helper
+ application, and thus were not included in the history stack.</p>
