A subscriber sent me this: >>>
I'm searching autocat through the web interface and I'm having some
navigational problems. I enter my search string (edition, reprint) and get
my results.  I click on a thread, read the thread, but then I want to go
back to my result list without having to re-enter my search.  Is there a
way to do this?  I hit the back button on my browser, but this doesn't seem
to work.  Is there a navigational button that I'm missing? <<<

I don't normally search via the web, I use email.  When I do search via
the web, only to try to replicate someone's problem, I use keyboard (don't
have a mouse) and the lynx browser.  By using my left arrow key I can go
back through the postings, in the same order I read them, until I get to
the search result "index," but I don't see anything to take one directly
back to that index.  Is there one, or is there some trick?

The archives are at Buffalo, 1.8e, *without* the Dec. 2002 level set
(I don't think Jim ever installed the level set).  I have never modified
the archive web presence, and don't think Jim (LISTSERV host site
administrator) has either, but haven't asked.  Suggestions?
