I've discovered the situation is not quite as I described above.

In fact, there is a horizontal scroll bar, but is not seen unless you  
scroll down to the bottom of the visible text.  If the index is large,  
this will take many, many screens of vertical scrolling before you can  
scroll horizontally.

For me, the current functionality is workable, now that I have  
discovered how it works.  But I suspect that many viewers of the html  
docs would find the index unusable, as they may not discover the  
horizontal scroll bar.  Sage has excellent documentation.  It deserves  
an index with a less opaque interface.
