Looks good.  I like the interface you've built, and I love the many, many
options you offer.  I also like the label checkbox.  I'm not even quite sure
how to do that (with pure-CGI) but I'd like to know.

Problems:
1) IE 5.5 is reporting
"'parent.legend.document.mapserv.map_gradysqlRoads_data' is null or not an
object." in this line:
parent.legend.document.mapserv.map_gradysqlRoads_data.value=top.document.Mas
ter.map_gradysqlRoads_data.value;
2) In a very large window the checkbox legend area expands with the
window...probably in a way you don't intend.  It ends up putting the right
set of checkboxes quite far to the right.
3) It wasn't quite obvious to me what the radio buttons were for.
Eventually I figured out they control the query layer.
4) Query mode allows you to draw a box, but the query fails (perhaps it
should be using nquery when a rectangle is drawn?).
