One bug and one suggestion:

(1) The bug is that there is a missing range indicator
    at the top of a listing, e.g. go to
    http://guide.lugnet.com/set/
    and follow the quick link to trains.
    The first screen is OK --- it has
    "First 20 of 224 Set Matches".  But then click on
    the right arrow for the next page, and it shows
    "21–40 of 224 Set Matches".  I guess there is supposed
    to be a dash there between the 21 and 40.

Hmm.  I see an en-dash there (not a hyphen and not an em-dash but an en-dash).
That doesn't show up for you?  What browser/OS were you viewing with?

It's using entity – there, which is kind of a Microsoft-ism in character
set terms, but I had previously thought that all browsers honored it anyway,
and converted it to a hyphen if the en-dash wasn't available.  Hmm.


(2) Suggestion:  Duplicate the left and right arrows
    for going backward and forward at the bottom of the
    page so that when a user scrolls down, there is an
    arrow there, and one doesn't need to scroll back to
    the top to go to the next page.

Ya, sorry about that.  We took it out last night because it was super-
confusing on short pages.  We'll put it back after trimming it down in a
way which works great but isn't confusing.
