The URL given by Jaynika is a valid example  (at least if you adjjust
the path settings for your needs): It invokes the MapServer CGI to 
return a map (gif or png depending on your compilation) as specified by
the CGI parameters (delimited by "&").

Issuing 

wget "http://localhost/mapserver/bin/mapserv.exe?mode=map&layer=layer1&imgext=364107.000000+3773595.000000+365719.000000+3774689.000000&map=c%3A%5CInetpub%5Cwwwroot%5Cms_demo%5Cdmpdemo.map"

would save the image to your file system (with a lengthy file name, but
thats up to wget).

Cheers,

   Frank
