I can write this if there is interest. It is not possible to implement it with the current `help-xref-stack' variable. A new variable could be added that will record the full Help history. And it might be as useful as full history of Info nodes where an additional variable with full history was added recently. -- Juri Linkov http://www.jurta.org/emacs/
