Is there a way to view invisible files, but only in one particular folder? I have some .htaccess files I have to work with, and I'd prefer that they don't disappear right under my nose.  (Without seeing every other invisible file on the system, of course.)

I don't think so, but a decent workaround would be just to create symlinks to the files and work on those.

so learn how to use Terminal. to list the invisible files and see their permissions, type ls -Gal (woooh, i threw in a color switch too)
you can just have Terminal open the file for you in your normal text editor, if you're too scared of vi, pico, etc. just type man open and read it. or take the bull by the horns and type cd /path/to/file && pico .htaccess
