How can I create a smarter .htaccess file that will add a directory?

Question

This is my current .htaccess file:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) /directory/ [R=301,L]

And "directory" is where my wordpress install is. So this simply redirects people from the root domain to the directory.

What I would like to do is create it so any information added to the url is passed through when the directory is added. SO http://yoursite.tld/page becomes http://yoursite.tld/directory/page/

I know this is probably a snap for someone with more experience with regular expressions. Unfortunately I haven't been able to track down the info with standard web searches. Appreciate the help...
