Eduardo,

Here's how you do this. In your map file within the MAP object 
definition add a LEGEND object, like so:
LEGEND
  STATUS ON
END

And then in your html file where you want to display the legend add the 
code:
<img src="[legend]" alt="Map Legend" />

Alternatively, you can create a link to it and it will pop up in a new 
browser window. Just pu tthis in your html fiel where you want the link 
to appear:

<a href="[legend]" target="_blank" />

HTH,
