make a layer "queryable"

[Steve Lime]

A layer is queryable if it has a template defined for query presentation. A line
like:

  TEMPLATE 'dummy'

will suffice. You also must set a line like:

  DUMP TRUE

for WMS feature queries to work. Doesn't have anything to do with WCS. The
WMS how-to on the main MapServer site contains example mapfile snippets...

Can someone point me to some documentation for how to make a MapServer 
layer "queryable" (this was the term used in Chameleon's documentation)?

I am setting up a WMS server and want to use Chameleon or some other 
WMS-capable client to deliver maps and to provide querying functionality.  
I assume supporting query involves using another OGC protocol (WCS)?

Thanks
