Hi Shiri:

I'd strongly recommend leaving in the 'All entries on one page' option. It's
fast enough to bring the whole thing in (at least with a broadband
connection) and I'd find it disappointing to click on each letter just to
find out that there are no acronyms that start with E, G, J, and so on.

Right. I like it better, too. Which is why I'm wondering if the alphabetical
division is helpful at all. Do you (or anyone, for that matter) think it is?

I recommend having the ": <a A> <b B> ..." portion of each FAQ entry and the
body of the FAQ entry each put into separate FAQ pages. Then the individual
letters could include both, while the 'all' page could include only the
'meat', plus possibly the letter directory at the top and bottom of the
page.

Hmmm, good idea! And I can use a single page for all the links. Great!
Thanks, Cary!
