Thanks, that would work.

Unfortunately I wasn't 100% clear. When I said that I don't want to 
include the session code on these pages, I actually want to try to avoid 
running any code at all. I'd like these to be vanilla HTML pages 
protected by .htaccess/.htpasswd, but accessible transparently from a 
PHP page.

Thanks again, though.

Cheers,
Noah
