It's done exactly the same as the Apache configuration file.  For 
example, if you have this in your Apache file:

  <Directory /here/there/everywhere>
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [PT,NC,L]
  </Directory>

You could just place an .htaccess file in /here/there/everywhere and use 
this in the file:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [PT,NC,L]

Obviously your rules would be different, but the point is they're 
structured the same regardless of whether they're in the Apache server 
file or an .htaccess file.

HTH,
