   Yes, they correspond to back/forward buttons in graphical browsers.
   Basically, the view state (what link you were on etc.) will be
   restored when moving back and forth in this manner.
   
  Thanks a ton. I have remapped them to h and l .. a lot more
  convenient for me than the arrow/cursor keys which are very difficult to
  reach on this laptop.
  
  In order to do that, I had to remap l - jump to link to u but I'm not
  sure what that does - sorry, I'm clueless about web stuff.
  
  I tried it in different contexts and it does nothing. What's the
  difference between jump to link and follow link? Jump to a link
  sounds clear enough but from where? When I first saw it I thought it
  just meant go to link target when a link is highlighted but that's
  apparently not the case.
 
 It takes an (undocumented) prefix number. So entering the sequence 5l
 sets the prefix to 5 (will be shown in the status bar) and then jumps to
 link number five.
 
I must be configured differently: when I enter 5 elinks opens a Go to
link dialog box with 5 already typed in and if I type u - the jump
to link keybinding in my modified configuration and hit enter I get a
second pop up with an error message: Bad number - Number expected in
field. So I'm still missing something. :-/

I expected jump to link to open the dialog box where I can enter the
link number but this is apparently not what it does.  I'm stumped.

OK. I had link numbering on - by default, toggled via the . keyboard
action - so I thought that might clash with the jump to link action and
I hit . to turn link numbering off and hit u again and this time it
does pretty much what you represented. When I hit 5 I got the
keyboard prefix: 5 in the taskbar.. could type 1 and the prefix
becomes 51 .. but now I'm confused. Since I had to turn off link
numbering I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with this. Not count the
links on the web page mentally, I hope?

No big deal, just typing the link number when in link numbering on
mode works just fine - and I'm absolutely delighted by my vi-like
navigation keyboard actions instead of these laptop-imcompatible arrow
keys - so if you don't have the time to clarify please ignore.

Thanks for your reply.. and please move graphic support to the bottom
of your list and give us UTF-8 and javascript support.. :-)

Great browser..!
