automating htpasswd

I have two long strings of numbers I have to enter as userids/passwords using htpasswd. I have been doing it by hand but it's time-consuming. I've tried automating the process using a macro editor, but I can't get a macro that works -- between jumping from MsWord on my local machine to Telnet to use Unix on the server, to the delays inherent in entering commands remotely, the macro always botches the job at some point.

I'd like to enter the commands locally and then ftp the protected folder to my site, but I don't have Unix on my home machine and can't see much point to dowloading it just to use htpasswd.

Is there anything out there that will automate the task of entering passwords in htaccess? Preferably something free, or cheap?
 
Possibly this program could help you
Its called typitin, it basically allows you to save keystrokes and replay them with a mouse click. I find it to be really usefull for alot of stuff not just password stuff...
