Thanks for your reply Matt. The GROUP idea works and, if I name the GROUP the same as the layer I'm attempting to mask, seems to prevent the unmasked layers from displaying. However, since it appears that a layer can only be in one GROUP, this means that
I have to duplicate my inline mask layer for each image layer I'm attempting to mask.

Try adding <br>
GROUP "default"<br>
to the layers you want displayed <br>
<br>
then use &layers=default in you WMS call.<br>

Hope that helps.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Somehow I feel that using STATUS DEFAULT layers with WMS is against the idea of the standard which has obviously been that user gets exactly those layers which are ordered from the service with &layers=. Configuring server to always send some layers may be
useful sometimes but righ now I cannot imagine when. Can you give a few examples?<br>

> I'm finding a difference between the image produced by shp2img and a WMS GetMap request. The image produced by shp2img looks as I expect honoring the order in which LAYERS are defined in the map file and the STATUS value. However, the WMS request does not
