Roger,<BR>
YES!!! excellent, this worked perfectly...<BR>
The documentation doesnt seem to be very clear on how exactly to compose a mapfile with multiple layers, but looking at your examples, everthing made much more sense.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks a million for your quick and elaborate help.<BR>
You're a life-saver and mapserver guru in my book...<BR>
Cheers,<BR>

The "florida.map" is the project mapfile and looks for the "coastline.map", "lakes.map", and "islands.map" mapfiles for each of the separate layers. You should just need to change the path in each of the DATA lines to point at your shapefiles. Attached is the image this generates, as well as the mapfiles.

Ive ALSO tried using the gshhs shapefiles (<A>http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/gshhs.html</A>), and these *seem* like they might work, but they are broken up into separate shapefiles for coastal outline, lakes, ponds, etc., and these shapefiles are IN LINES instead of POLYGONS/POLYLINES, so I cannot figure out how to "fill" the space between "lines" with a different color in order to make the landmasses and interior bodies of water "stand out".<BR> <BR>So, simply put, my question is: can someone please help me figure out / recommend which data source I should use in order to produce output similiar to the image Ive attached? just high-resolution coastal outline and interior bodies of water IN decimal degrees (WGS1984?), please help....<BR> <BR>P.Romero</SPAN></FONT><BR>
