ok, I managed to figure this out on my own (probably simple to most of you, but I don't know much about any of this so not-so-simple to me). In case anyone else is wondering too here's how I did it...

In the hangman template I put in an anchor near the top of the playing board <a name="topofboard">your anchor here</a>

then in the hangman php file I found this line...

PHP Code:

else
    { $links .= "\n<A HREF=\"$PHP_SELF?letters=$alpha[$c]$letters&n=$n\">$alpha[$c]</A> "; }
  } 


and replaced it with...

PHP Code:

else
    { $links .= "\n<A HREF=\"$PHP_SELF?letters=$alpha[$c]$letters&n=$n#topofboard\">$alpha[$c]</A> "; }
  } 


you can do the same thing at the "play again" link a little further down as well. It works beautifully and the playing board never "moves" on the player, making it very seamless.
