OK guys
You've helped me so much and efficiently.

Just for the record, I'll put the code (if someone ever searches for similar, rather get it right)



###### PHP compatibility ######

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

###### WordPress original code #####

# BEGIN WordPress
# <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
# RewriteEngine On
# RewriteBase /
# RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
# </IfModule>
# END WordPress

##### Wordpress Optimized code with my redirects ####

# Intro

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# My specific Redirect default.asp to WP Homepage
RewriteRule ^default\.asp$ http://www.example.com/ [R=301,L]

# My Specific Redirects from old site (.asp URLs containing ?string to WP+SEF-format URLs)
# Redirects template.asp?page=mystring containging "?page=mystring" and any other parameter to specified new URL www.example.com/mynewurl
# One may remove the "?" at the end of the target URL to keep parameters in the string.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^([^&]*&)*page=mystring(&.*)?$
RewriteRule ^template\.asp$ http://www.example.com/mynewurl/? [R=301,L]

# WP optimized code

# Redirect direct client requests for URL-path /index.php to / to avoid duplicate content
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]+\ /index\.php([?#][^\ ]*)?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://www.example.com/ [R=301,L]

# Redirect requests for non-blank, non-canonical hostnames to canonical hostname
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^(www\.atable\.com)?$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# Except for requests for /index.php and for the most-frequently-requested
# filetypes that WP cannot generate, rewrite all URL requests which do not
# resolve to an existing file or directory to the WordPress script filepath
RewriteCond $1 !^index\.php$
RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png|ico|css|js)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ /index.php [L]
# END WordPress
