I've reformatted the original page slightly, and run up a test page.

Original: http://home.grandecom.net/~cvproj/gen-names.htm
Test*: http://home.grandecom.net/~cvproj/gen-names-a.htm

* I'll need to add a submenu to access all 26 pages.

One of the things that has always bothered me about this page, and the
others mentioned in the OP, is that the reader scrolls way past the
left-column menu fairly quickly.

Aside from replicating the menu several times, or figuring out some
way of "freezing" the column, the only answer I could come up with was
putting in several "Return to Top of Page" links. That strikes me as
rather messy...
