Not especially helpful. I understand the *concepts* (I did mention I've done
this in the past) and just needed a quick reminder of the syntax and file
placement for .htaccess and .htpasswd (the one I couldn't remember) No
syntax or step-by-step anything at that linkage; just conceptual info.

I re-figured it out from the Webmonkey tutorial at
