+<h1>+++ Cookie Jar Page Help +++</h1>
+
+The Cookie Jar Page displays all of the unexpired cookies you have
+accumulated in the hypothetical <em>Cookie Jar</em>.  The cookies are
+obtained via <em>Set-Cookie</em> MIME headers in replies from http servers,
+and are used for <A HREF="../Lynx_users_guide.html#30">State Management</A>
+across successive requests to the servers.
+
+<p>The cookies are listed by <em>domain</em> (server's Fully Qualified
+Domain Name, or site-identifying portion of the FQDN), and in order
+of decreasing specificity (number of slash-separated symbolic elements
+in the <em>path</em> attribute of the cookie).  When Lynx sends requests
+to an http server whose address tail-matches a <em>domain</em> in the
+<em>Cookie Jar</em>, all its cookies with a <em>path</em> which
+head-matches the path in the URL for that request are included as a
+<em>Cookie</em> MIME header.  The 'allow' setting for accepting cookies
+from each domain (always, never, or via prompt) also is indicated in the
+listing.
+
+<p>The listing also shows the <em>port</em> (normally 80) of the URL
+for the request which caused the cookie to be sent, and whether the
+<em>secure</em> flag is set for the cookie, in which case it will be
+sent only via secure connections (presently, only SSL).  The
+<em>Maximum Gobble Date</em>, i.e., when the cookie is intended to
+expire, also is indicated.  Note, however, that Lynx presently gobbles
+all of it's accumulated cookies on exit from the current session, even
+if the server indicated an expiration in the distant future.  Also, a
+server may change the expiration date, or cause the cookie to be deleted,
+in its replies to subsequent requests from Lynx.  If the server included
+any explanatory comments in its <em>Set-Cookie</em> MIME headers, those
+also are displayed in the listing.
+
+<p>The <em>domain</em>=value pairs, and each cookie's name=value, are
+links in the listing.  Activating a <em>domain</em>=value link will
+invoke a prompt asking whether all cookies in that <em>domain</em>
+should be <em>Gobbled</em> (deleted from the <em>Cookie Jar</em>),
+and/or whether the <em>domain</em> entry should be <em>Gobbled</em>
+if all of its cookies have been <em>Gobbled</em>, or whether to change
+the 'allow' setting for that <em>domain</em>.  Activating a cookie's
+name=value link will cause that particular cookie to be <em>Gobbled</em>. 
+You will be prompted for confirmations of deletions, to avoid any
+accidental <em>Gobbling</em>.

+<h1>+++ Visited Links Page Help +++</h1>
+
+The Visited Links Page displays all of the links that you have traveled
+through during the current Lynx session, except for any temporary menu
+or list files, bookmark files, or any documents associated with POST
+content.  The VLINKS keystroke command for invoking this page normally
+is mapped to uppercase '<em>V</em>'.  The list of Visited Links is in
+order of recency (most recently visited links first), without repetitions
+in the list if a link was visited more than once during the session (unless
+the URLs differ due to appended fragments), and is supplementary to the
+<A HREF="history_help.html">History Page</A>.
+
+<p>You may <A HREF="movement_help.html">select</A> any link on the Visited
+Links Page to retrieve a document that you had previously visited, or you
+can use this list to save such links in your <A HREF="bookmark_help.html"
+>bookmark files</A>, or to <A HREF="../Lynx_users_guide.html#9">Download</A>
+them.
+
+<p>In contrast to the History Page, the Visited Links Page includes any
+links which were retrieved for '<em>d</em>'ownloading or were passed to
+helper applications, i.e, not just the links that were rendered and
+displayed by Lynx, itself.
