[Mapserver-users] little map in a big box

I'm just getting started with MapServer, and I'm having problems
displaying a PNG file.
The visible image of the map takes up only a tiny, postage-stamp-sized
area of the total
image, most of which is white space. I looked on the list archive, and
saw a similar
problem diagnosed as inconsistent use of units, but I really think I got
all of that
right, with everything in meters -- then redid it with everything in DD,
and got the same
problem, only my visible map image was even smaller. I got the bounding
coordinates from
the theme properties of an ArcView layer using the same image, the image
size from viewing
the PNG in a Netscape window and reading the document title above the
menu bar (i.e.
'baymap.png (PNG Image, 721x640 pixels)'), and computed the distance per
pixel as (xmin -
xmax)/721 and similarly for the y dimension. I'll attach my .map and
.wld files (the version in meters) and hope
someone can help.
