I am using Linux Mint, and its chromium web browser. When I used Firefox; and after using a weblink to another page on my site (example: <A HREF="INSIDE HELP.HTML" STYLE="COLOR:ORANGE">HEARING</A>), it would always return to the departure line of the the first HTML page.
However, in chromium, it returns to the top of the first page.
Is there any way that I can correct this, to mimic Firefox's actions?

Return? You mean if you use the back button? I don't know why that differs between browses and pages. I've wondered about that myself.

Not related, but your link is incorrect. URLs can't contain spaces. They must be URL encoded. Like so.
CODE
INSIDE%20HELP.HTML


But for many reasons it's better to avoid spaces in file names to begin with. You can use hyphen or underscore as a word separator instead.

As I said, it doesn't have impact on your problems. But it could make your link not working. Many modern browsers mend mistakes like that, but probably not all of them and I have no idea how search engines handle it. So better do it right. Broken links are dead ends.
