I am using an img src tag to run mapserver.  It almost does what I want.  4
gifs are created and dumped into my tmp directory.   My problem is that I
want to be able to control the name of these gifs.   I tried setting the img
cgi variable like in the following tag (&img=data1)  hoping  that that would
set the value of the main map gif but it does'nt work.  The map name still
comes out something like data110130986502268.gif.   Is there a way to
execute mapserver like I have below (which again works) and be able to set
the value of the gif's that get created and dumped into my tmp directory?

<img
src=/scripts/mapserv/mapserv.exe?map=e:\webmirror\www\hmap\data1.map&layer=m
cf_regions&layer=lhalabel&layer=aboriginal&img=data1&zoomsize=2 alt="MAP"
border=0><br>
