Wow. Could you think of some setting that I might have messed up to break that functionality on my system?
I'm on OS 10.6.2. It has been that way ever since I got this Mac with 10.6, though. Maybe it was something I messed up early on? One of the first ways I started to learn about the computer was with Mac Help, and I immediately noticed that these back shortcuts didn't work. I thought that maybe Apple just hadn't implemented them in the viewer for the help system.

I also clicked on, Learn the basics about your Mac, and backspace worked as advertised.
