"Back" is not defined by the HTML specs (nor are the semantics of
following a link, I believe). But my vote would be to have a 1-1
mapping between forward and backward moves, with the motivation that
it's less confusing for the first-time user. I'm sure that the
complaint which triggered this thread will occur times and times again
as long as Mosaic has its current behavior. On the other hand, I
expect that nobody will complain when "Back" moves back in the same
file.

Marc, could we have this, please?
