This works really well, thanks.

So that the display of $MessagesFmt[] is empty when the user arrives, 
and doesn't display for an invalid or empty login, I excluded it for 
$action='login':

  $page = RetrieveAuthPage($pagename, $HandleAuth[$action], false);
  if (!$page) {
    if ($action != 'login')
      $MessagesFmt[] = 'Please log in with appropriate privileges';
    $action = 'browse';
  }
