Sorry, maybe I took the previous postings rather too literally. I assumed
they were referring to a button function, and I simply felt that if there was
a function called "PREV" which didn't actually take you to the previous
location, it could be renamed more helpfully.

In that case my suggestion is indeed irrelevant, since "PREV" is neither the
name of a button nor a function in the software. I apologise for assuming
that it was.
