mod rewite SEO.

Hello I have a Joomla site with SEO links that are handled via htaccess. I want to keep these for user usability not SEO reasons. How do I get those rewrite rules to work with the amember rewrite rules? Here is the extra htaccess rules I want integrated:

########## Begin - Joomla! core SEF Section
#
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.feed|\.pdf|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) index.php
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
#
########## End - Joomla! core SEF Section

Thanks for help,
John

Have you tried sticking these rules below the amember .htaccess rules?
