the last ten items in the user's history available in an array aptly named
"history".  for security purposes, the actions you can perform on the
history object are fairly minimal though.  you can read it's length --
history.length.  you can issue a redirect to a particular entry in the
history using the go() method.  you can call built-in methods on the history
object -- go(), back(), and forward().  however, for security purposes you
can't read or write the values at specific locations in the history.

alert(history[4]);

this would result in an alert() dialog with the value "undefined" in it.

what exactly are you trying to do?  are you perhaps trying to take a request
to a framed document and push it into frames if it's not already?
