+<h1>+++ History Page Help +++</h1>
+
+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>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>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>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.
