Change the concept page so that concepts are displayed in a vertical list,
grouped by starting letter. Have links to each letter at the top of the page: 

A B C D E F G ....

A
acceptance
asanas
ashram
...

B
BSP
...

It might also be worth considering a mixture of vertical and horizontal lists:

a b c d ...

acceptance asanas ashram ...

bsp ...

charity creativity ...

I think the horizontal list looked much worse yesterday because the spaces 
between
the concepts were underlined.

Its very difficult to scroll very long pages using the scroll bar...

Just to summarize our chat.

The page will look something like this:

A B C D E ...  (these link to the various parts of the page)

acceptance     agreement    apologising    art
acknowlegement aggression   ...            ...
adam           ...
aeroplane
afghanistan
...

bad               body         brain       buddha
balance           bollywood    ...
bar               ...
...

...

The number of columns would be fixed. In the above example, its 4, but would 
most
probably be more in real life.

The words list down first then across.

We could have a minimum number of rows - say 10, because if you have a very rare
starting character, like Z, then it makes more sense not to split them across 
all the
columns.

Fixed.

Revision 63 implements most of this work, but the tables read across then down 
like:

sadhu  session  shoonya
small  space    strike
swift

Revision 65 completes this enhancement by making the tables read like a 
newspaper:

sadhu    small  strike
session  space  swift
shoonya

I'm not sure which one looks better. Any thoughts?
