Thanks for looking into it. I used pico to create and edit the files on sonic.net. I copied from the Sonic htaccess tool using Firefox for Mac OS and pasted into Terminal.app. I made sure that .htaccess had an extra line at the bottom. What else might help.

Permissions on the .htaccess and .htpasswd file?

Permissions! I didn't think about that.
-rw------- 1 slapout user 138 Feb 26 20:58 .htaccess
-rw------- 1 slapout user 23 Feb 26 20:57 .htpasswd
Probably wrong, huh?

Yes, I think so.
A little searching yielded a couple resources that might help:
https://wiki.sonic.net/wiki/.htaccess

Thanks. It's fixed. By the way, neither of those pages mention permissions. But it turns out that permissions were not the problem. Eventually I figured out that I had an illegal "Desired authname".
