Thanks Israel, 
but that's exactly the way I call the history object of the frame I want.
The problem is that while in Netscape or Explorer5.0 it runs ok, in IExplorer5.5  when I call
parent.framename.history.go(-1) it acts exactly as if the user clicked on the back button in the 
navigation toolbar, modifying the content of the last changed frame.

You can test what I'm saying at 

http://62.81.187.140/historytest/index.html

There, I've placed a three-frames page. Frame #1 and Frame #2 can switch between black 
and white color pages while the third, the bottom one,  shows you two links to browse 
backwards and forwards in the history of Frame #2. (You can see the JavaScript call at the 
status bar).

If you try it on IE5.5 you'll see the problem.

Thanks for your patience (and time)
