Ah, I know something about this site!
I utterly hate it and like the rest of you, thought it must have been programmed by sadists.
However.....this work was done in the early 1970s, on a main frame computer with limited memory and capability, as part of a University experiment to see if such data could usefully be put on a computer.
It required a lot of complicated programming and each bit had to be done separately. I don't really understand the technicalities, but the site is limited by 1970s capabilities.
I now understand why it is so complicated...but I still hate it!
