Okay, I’ll have to give this some more thought. I want to use something visually appropriate, and interesting, that fits in with an alphabetical list, otherwise this page will be very boring.
Make an anchor at the top of the page, or simply make those links to #PageDiv, which will do the same thing. To link to #PageDiv, create your link text and select it, then open the Hyperlink dialog, click on the External tab, and type in #PageDiv (case-sensitive) in the URL field.
It is often customary to make a link to # (the empty anchor) to make a link to top, and that will work in the sense that your browser will scroll to the top of the page, but SmoothScroll will not interpret that link as meaning anything, and will not assign the smooth scroll behavior.
Finally, as Dave pointed out, you do not want to mix jQuery in with Prototype and Scriptaculous, which is what SmoothScroll is built on. That would just add a couple of hundred K more download size to your page AND cause none of the JavaScript on it to work at all.

You certainly do NOT want to be adding another Javascript library to your page.
All I was suggesting is that you provide some Nav links to the Top and Smooth Scroll will take over.
At the moment there are links down but none back up.
Some subtle ‘Top’ text links conveniently placed are all you need.

Okay, got everything working. Thanks for your help.
BTW, when it comes to page length, how long is too long. Also, is there anyway to simplify the horizontal rules I’m using, rather than placing each rule and physically adding a bottom margin?
