MapServer "Points"/Query Question

Have been looking in on the MapServer list server, as I've been reading
up
and tinkering with MapServer (on several Linux boxes; SuSE 6.1 and
RedHat 6.0).

I've reached a "stallout" on the "practice" application I've been
working on,
(as a mutation of the demo_init.html/demo.map example). I can't seem to
figure
out how to get data returned from a point shape file, though I can for a
line
shapefile .... as evidenced by the "output" example to be found at:

		http://lamar.ColoState.EDU/~hqwris/fishdata.jpg

Attached are code "snippets" from my modifications to the   demo.map  
file.
Any suggestions on code to be added, deleted, or modified, would be
appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any input the "group" might provide.
