No, I'm not wanting javascript. I'm wanting ordinary HTML links that do
ordinary things, and let ME (the user) do what I want with those things.

On the thumbs page, I should be able to click on a pic and go to a pic
page. From there, BACK will take me back to the thumbs page, but there
is no browser function that will take me to the next pic. That's where
a button on the pic page [next-->] comes in handy. [<--prev] is equally
useful, and [^back to thumbs^], while redundant with the browser back
button, nicely completes the set.
