Yes, wget has a user,password option. 
Don't quote me on it, but I think it is -u userid,passwd.

I'm thinking of setting up an automated script to use wget to pull the
latest newspaper from Bookshare; kind of like what is done on the Icon
device.  I casn save the appropriate link for my particular newspaper
and use variables to plug the desired date but where I run into trouble
is authentication.  Since you have to log into bookshare first, it ends
up being a multi-step process.  Is there any way to do this  using wget?

See, I'm trying to implement a feature of the Icon without paying $2000
plus for it:).
