[mapserver-users] idea for mapscript tutorial

[Alex Rice]

I have a lot to learn before I could write something like this,  
but I've been reading mapserv.c to get ideas for using mapscript, 
and it occurred to me is this: A great mapscript tutorial would 
be to implement mapserv.c in mapscript.  Not all of it, but at 
least the core functionality for working with map and template 
files, panning and zooming.  Does such a script exist?

Most of the mapscript examples I've seen are either web apps of 
very limited function, or they are kind of on-off utility scripts 
for doing this or that. What I'm interested in doing is using 
mapscript only for what I can't get mapserver to do, hence my 
initial interest in the processTemplate function).
