If you use TARGET="_top" for your HREFs, the link fills the window and the browser's Back button gets you back to where you were. You could create a separate framesetting document for each link, so that instead of HREFing the remote document directly, you'd call the framesetting document with TARGET="_top". Each of these intermediate framesetting documents would recreate the menu as frame A and put the appropriate link into frame B. There would be no need for a NOFRAMES section so the files would be small. Again, the browser's back button would work as expected.
