[mapserver-users] Extracting one polygon from a file

[Allan Panitch]

I hope this is simple.
I have a shp file of the USA which is just a bunch of polygons in a shp
file with a dbf of the attributes.

I would like to just display michigan from this file.
So in my map file I have a layer which displays that and the surrounding
states, I would like to omit the other polygons (states).

So in that layer I added   
LABELITEM "STATE_NAME"  which is the valid label in the .dbf file.
and the value is "michigan"
So I tried something under class like  EXPRESSION STATE_NAME=michigan
but that did not seem to do the trick.
Any ideas on how to extract a polygon for 1 layer?

Thanks
al
