What do I add to the style sheet to do this? Thanks.

or if you use <a name>s, add this:
a[name]:hover {text-decoration:inherit;}

This should provide you with what you want

a:link
{color:#00c;text-decoration:none;background-color:transparent;}
a:visited
{color:#009;text-decoration:none;background-color:transparent;}
a:hover
{color:#c00;text-decoration:underline;background-color:transparen
t;}
a:active
{color:#f00;text-decoration:underline;background-color:transparen
t;}

This would go into your external css.

Adding only this: is OP making it clear to the user that the links are
links? If you remove the underlining, how will the user know to hover
there?

Quite right. Use something like this:

p:hover a:link,
li:hover a:link,
a:hover {text-decoration:underline}

and the underlines will appear when you hover anywhere _near_ the links.

.... unless the user is among the IE using population, as I understand.
This is ONE thing I wish IE got right.
