Question about creating transparent Layers

[Christian Fuerpasz]

Hi everybody!

I have a question if its possible to create transparent layers.
In my Project i have a backgroundimage like a Hillshading and some
different layers like National Parks which would look much better if
they would be transparent, so i can see some of the hillshading through.

I think this is not so a special problem because it should appear often
in cartographic applications, but i didnt found a solution in the .Map
File Dokumentation.

I hope to get some positiv Answers and that my request is possible.

Best Regards
Christian Fuerpasz
