trouble displaying a symbol without a label

[Stephen Lime]

With annotation layers the markers and text are considered a single entity.
That is, you can't have one without the other. Sounds like you should be
using TYPE POINT instead.

Hello,

When I use a parameter such as labelmaxscale to selectively apply labels to 
symbols, unlabeled symbols are not displayed.  What do I need to do to 
ensure that unlabeled symbols are indeed displayed?  Also, what are the 
units for labelmaxscale?  The relevant section of my mapfile is as follows 
(without labelmaxscale):

LAYER
	NAME "watershed"
	DATA "watershed"
	STATUS DEFAULT
	LABELITEM SITE_NAME
	TYPE ANNOTATION

	CLASS

		NAME "Watersheds"
		SYMBOL 'county_highway_shield'
		COLOR 0 0 0
		LABEL
			BUFFER 2
			ANTIALIAS
			FORCE TRUE
			SIZE SMALL
			MINSIZE 1
			MINFEATURESIZE 2
			COLOR 0 0 0
      			TYPE BITMAP
     			POSITION CC
		END

END # end of class object

Thanks for any help.
-David
