Is there a way to prevent search engines from listing certain pages?

I have several pages that are being listed by search engines. These pages are only help pages. Is there a way I can prevent these from being listed by search engines?

Thanks…

Add this to the page that you don't want indexed.

@BeachSideJun 12.2005 — Better yet... instead of editing each and every page that you don't want a robot to index (I have over 500 pages just on one site so I block entire directories) use the robots.txt file to tell them to not index them.

[URL=http://www.searchengineworld.com/robots/robots_tutorial.htm]Here[/URL] is a good tutorial that explains how they work.
