How do you open the rear hatchback on a 1997 Honda wagon from inside?

The 1997 Honda Accord Wagon (and other Honda wagons from that era) typically has a button or lever located on the driver's side lower dashboard, near the steering wheel or the center console. It might be a small button, a lever that pulls up or down, or even a small switch. Look closely in that area; it's often relatively inconspicuous.
