My sources of learning were :

http://builder.com/Authoring/Stupid/ss01.html
http://www.apacheweek.com/features/userauth
http://www.vortex-webdesign.com/pwprotect.htm

somwehere else.....anyway I have a "redirect"  index.html fie in the
password directory to resist snoopers.....

I created my .htaccess and.htpasswd files manually and by using
password encrypters at either of :

http://home.earthlink.net/~jbrau/Hugnews/pwgenerator.html

I uploaded using FTP.....
