Abstract
A hypertext displaying apparatus is provided. When a link destination indicated in stored data is designated, a processing section instructs a transmission/reception section to download hypertext data at the link destination, and instructs a history storage section to register an identifier of the currently-displayed stored data. If a user gives a “previous content” instruction, the processing section reads from a stored information storage section the stored data corresponding to the identifier registered in the history information storage section, so that the stored data is displayed on a screen.
