Angling of labels only works if you are using true type fonts.  Here is an
example from one of my map files - hope this helps and seems to angle street
labels more or less correctly.

FONTSET symbols/fonts/font.lst
LAYER
	NAME streetnames
	STATUS ON
	DATA streetSP83_polyline
	TYPE LINE
	LABELITEM "STREET"
	CLASS
	  SYMBOL 0
	  COLOR 255 255 255   
	  LABEL
	    ANTIALIAS
	    MINDISTANCE 200
	    MINFEATURESIZe 50
	    ANGLE AUTO
	    TYPE truetype
            FONT arial
	    POSITION AUTO
	    PARTIALS true
	    SIZE 6
	    COLOR 128 0 0
	  END
        END
END
