Hi Steve,

Thanks very much for your answer.

The application I'm building involves access to culturally sensitive 
information, that only logged in users should have access to - so url 
substitution is not an option.
I am not a php programmer, so php/mapscript is not an (easy) option. 
(nor are any other mapscript flavours)
The user account management part is already written (by someone else) 
in php, so I have access to $_SESSION, and cookies if that is a 
viable alternative.
I'm absolutely open to any suggestions to achieve my goal of 
username/password restricted access to a mapserver map showing 
culturally sensitive points derived from a MySQL database.

Thanks,
Greg.
