[thelist] opening a pdf file with a back button on the page, not using the browser back button.

I have a site that has a lot of pdf files.
They don't want the pdf file to open in the frame because the frame is too
small once you get all the tool bars of acrobat etc. That's easy enough by
changing the target to top.

What they want is on the page a button that when clicked will take them back
to the previous page like the back button on the top of the browser. So a
button using onclick="window.history.go(-1);" etc.

Is this possible?
Where would you put the code? because once you click on the pdf file link it
opens acrobat and displays the file rather than a html page.

TIA
Lisa
