Oh, I forgot.  RetrieveAuthPage allows a $level value of 'ALWAYS',
which means that the page is returned regardless of any
authorization settings in effect:

    $page = RetrieveAuthPage($targetname, 'ALWAYS', true);

That should work just about the same as ReadPage() for what you're
wanting to do.  Phrased another way, when Fox has decided that it's
okay to post to a page regardless of permissions, it can just pass
'ALWAYS' to the RetrieveAuthPage function instead of 'read' or 'edit'.
