+  <h1>History Page Help</h1>
+
+  <p>The 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>
+
+  <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
+  '<em>d</em>'ownloaded or passed to a helper application, and thus
+  were not included in the history stack.</p>
