[mapserver-users] Add points to shape

>I don't believe mapscript is intended to edit the associated dbf files.

information rather than writes information.
>At first this may seem strange but actually it makes sense for mapscript to not 
reinvent the wheel when there are other modules available for editting dbf 
files.
>You will need to "use XBase;" in order to add records to the dbf file for the 
points you add.

Lowell, could you please explain how the dbase record and the shape are 
connected to each other? This is a point where I did not come beyond trial and a 
lot of errors...
