Using a named anchor works best for me for most browsers. For example:

    https://crcomp.net/mixeramp/index.php#CircuitDesign

Note: It's best to not use white space in an anchor name in order to 
accommodate the Insipid Exasperators class of browsers.

Here's the jump link syntax for your page:

    <a href="SubjIndx.html?#Asection">A</a>

Its anchor:

    <p><a name="Asection"></a></p>
    <h2><B>A:</B></h2>

Apparently a Bookmark performs a similar function. But it's unused and 
untested by me thus far.

The jump link is identical to the anchor method: 

    <a href="SubjIndx.html?#Asection">A</a>

Its anchor is simpler:

    <h2 id="Asection"><B>A:</B></h2>
