Need htaccess help please

[jim6763nva]

I have the following code in my .htaccess file and I'm not sure what it's doing or if I need it. It was added by default. I'd like to be able to do url re-writes to have SE friendly urls and I'm not sure if this is going to mess things up.

 
IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
 
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthName talkmarylandforum.com

The 'IndexIgnore' line indicates what not to include in a directory listing. The 'Limit GET POST' bit allows everyone to GET or POST to your site. The 'Limit PUT DELETE' bit blocks PUT or DELETE from anyone to your site. The 'AuthName' line is what appears on that pop-up box when you go to login, if you have any htaccess protection set. Nothing there should mess with rewriting links.
