Suppose you have a multi-file html document.  Each html file has a link to
the previous file and has a link to the next file.  If after traversing
these "next section" links some number of times, is there a way the jump
back to where I entered this doucument from, or would I always have to
back up through all the sections that I traversed??

For example, from some arbitrary location, I go to document.  I go to
section 1.  I go to section 2.  I go to section 3.  Then, I want to go
back to the arbitrary location I started from.  Would I have to revisit
section 2 and section 1, or is there a quicker way?
