What's the meaning of all that code...

I've bought CoffeeCup "Website Access Manager" and "HTAccessGuide.pdf" (together with the HTML editor and others in the Webdesigner Pack).

Now I was experimenting with this Program and read carefully the HTAccesGuide.pdf (only 26 pages with a lot of beautifull pictures) but did not find much useable information in this pdf to "translate" the codes used in a htaccess into a "human" language.

Please do not misunderstand: the file works without problems, but I just like to know what everything means.:rolleyes:

The file made by CC WAM is in attach.

Can anybody please show me the way to a decent document to learn about htaccess?
Or maybe explain the code made by WAM?

Besides the codes which are explained in the pdf document about "Order deny, allow" and "AuthUserFile" are there a lot of other codes made by WAM.

The main codes (some are very often repeated), used in the document and I would like to understand are:

IndexIgnore *
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^xxxxxxxxxxx [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^xxxxxxx\ xxxxx [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} HTTrack [NC,OR]
RewriteRule ^.* - [F,L]

Thanks in advance,
Albert
