        The History Page is accessed via a command key normally mapped
to the VTxxx DELETE (decimal 127), which normally corresponds to the
"<-Backspace" key on IBM Enhanced keyboards, not the one labeled "Delete"
in its 6-function-key cluster.

        You do not indicate the version of Lynx you are using.  The
History Page handling was enhanced in v2.6, as was the documentation
for it in the v2.6 online 'h'elp.  It displays each link name in the
history stack as, in effect, "review" links, and the fully resolved
URLs for the links, including any fragments.  Here's a printout for
the primary description from the online 'h'elp:

                           +++ History Page Help +++
                                       
   The History Page displays all of the links that you have traveled
   through to reach your current point. If you entered a document and
   then left it by using the left-arrow key, it will not be in the
   history stack. If you entered a document and left it by selecting
   another link it will be in the history stack.
   
   You may select 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
   left-arrow key, if you wish to review previous documents without
   needing to remember and repeat the series of selections for reaching
   your currently displayed document.
   
   Upon using left-arrow in the document selected via the History Page,
   you will be returned to the document from which you initially went to
   the History Page.
