    Yes, I suppose I could, but by doing so, a window appears telling the
user Authorization failed. Not quite what I wanted.

    Maybe I should redo the whole thing based on what I really want to do:

    - Have a publicly available (and readable) index.php3 which includes a
login section
    - Based on the user name, it will then display whatever pertinent
information I want to serve, with, at the bottom a Log Out option that will
take them back to the main index.php3 where they can login again (possibly
with a different username).

    I don't necessarily want to make something as big and complicated that
will use a user DB and all. I just want something plain and simple, which is
why I started with .htaccess, but .htaccess is somewhat persistent, unless a
401 header is send (which will then popup the Authorization Failed message -
blah)
