Back is 'B' (shift-B)
There isn't a "forward" (return to the page you just backed out of) as
you'll find on most graphical browsers. However ^H (control-H) will get
you the history dialog.
'H' (shift-H) is keybinding help.
For a set of wrappers I've written for w3m, see:
http://kmself.home.netcom.com/Download/w3m-scripts.tar.gz
I put both scripts in /usr/local/bin, which precedes /usr/bin on my
PATH.
It includes 'w3m', which allows you to invoke w3m without arguments. It
will look for a bookmarks file and open it (the w3m bookmarks file by
default). Otherwise, w3m won't open with no arguments (a minor beef).
'w3m-rxvt' launches a terminal emulator, runs screen, and invokes w3m.
When used in conjunction, there's a bit of a shuffle with the SHELL
variable. 'w3m' sets shell to /bin/bash (it should get the user's shell
from /etc/passwd, fixme). 'w3m-rxvt' sets shell to /usr/local/bin/w3m.
The result is that when you shell a new screen from w3m-rxvt, you get
another w3m session. But when you shell out of w3m (or an editor within
it, say, when editing a web form), you get a real shell. I find this
useful.
All are bound to <alt><shift>-W in my WindowMaker session.
Peace.
