[mapserver-users] Newbie Question

[Scott Metro]

I have the demo up and running.  I now want to go beyond the demo, so I
downloaded a US state boundaries shapefile.  How do I get it to display on
the Minnesota demo?  I want to be able to zoom out to the whole US and see
the state boundaries and labels?  Also, how does one plot a point on a map?
Finally, can concentric circles be drawn on maps?

Thanks in advance.
