Shading certain polygons

[Stephen Lime]

Declare a class with an expression that matches only the water polys. Shapes without a class are
ignored. You could edit the shape file and delete
the islands altogether. The hole should still be
there but as part of the water shapes. Holes in
multipart polygons are rendered correctly. Faster
that way, less data and no class expression evaluation.

I have a complex polygon layer in which I have polygonal water 
bodies and islands within them.  I need to be able to apply 
shading to only the water based on an attribute and to have 
all other valid polygons (like islands) from the shapefile 
be not shaded. 

How do I declare this selection in the .map file?
