<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>For context, I assume I have the latest MapServer version,
downloaded October 3. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Also, I’m pretty familiar with desktop GIS, but
unschooled with web and map server use. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Installation and first tutorial section went well. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
line-height:18.0pt;background:white'>Got to Example 2-1: <span
style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#3E4349'> <a
href="http://demo.mapserver.org/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/osgeo/mapserver/tutorial/htdocs/example2.map&layer=states&zoom=0&mode=browse&root=/tutorial&program=/cgi-bin/mapserv&map_web=template+example2-1.html">Example
2.1 - Pan and Zoom Controls</a> (teaches click on map to pan, etc.) </span>and
pan/zoom page opens with map. OK. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>But here’s the problem:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>the mapfile, (name: Example2.map. “type:
map_auto_file” [new type to me]) from demo.mapfile.org <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>wants to be opened or saved every time I click on the map
to pan. <o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I expected the link above to run the local mapfile---and not
open it either. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I don’t understand the behavior I’m
seeing. What basic point am I missing?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p>
