So u can do this to only recall the last entry :

Source code
========================================
<html>
<head><title>Untitled</title>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
<!--
searchTerms = new Array();
maxTerms = 10;
curTerm = -1;
totalTerm = 0
actualTerm = 0

function addSearch(theTerm) {
 top.curTerm++;
 top.searchTerms[top.curTerm] = theTerm;
 if (top.curTerm >= top.maxTerms) top.curTerms = -1;
 totalTerm++
 if (totalTerm==maxTerms+1) totalTerm--
}
function getSearch(theField) {
 if (totalTerm == 0) alert("No entry recorded !")
 else
 {
   actualTerm = top.searchTerms.length - 1;
   theField.value = top.searchTerms[actualTerm]

   theField.focus();
   theField.select();
  }
}

// -->
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>

<form name="myform">
<input type="text" name="mytext"><br>
<a href="javascript:getSearch(document.myform.mytext)">Recall entry</a><br>

One entry is so simple:

<html>
<head><title>Untitled</title>
<SCRIPT LANGUAJE="javascript"><!-- //
searchTerms = "";
// --></SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
<form name="myform">
<input type="text" name="mytext"><br>
<input type="button" value="recall" onclick="this.mytext = top.searchTerms"><br>
<input type="button" value="save"
onclick="top.searchTerms= this.myText.value">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Too simple! forgot a form and a value:

<input type="button" value="recall"
onclick="this.form.mytext.value = top.searchTerms"><br>
<input type="button" value="save"
onclick="top.searchTerms= this.form.myText.value">


And it is still
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript"><!-- //

jt537,
How about this script, it use a hidden field to store the value ^_^:
<form name = test>
<input name = textBox type = text>
<input name = recallStore type = hidden>
<input type = button onClick = "document.forms.test.recallStore.value = document.forms.test.textBox.value" value = Store>
<input type = button onClick = "document.forms.test.textBox.value = document.forms.test.recallStore.value;document.forms.test.textBox.focus();document.forms.test.textBox.select()" value = Recall>
</form>
