There should be plenty on this in the archives. The quick answer is that 
you need to use a symbol and a size in your class. Here's an example:
    CLASS
      NAME "Major Highways"
      SYMBOL "circle"
      COLOR 255 0 0
      SIZE 2
    END
Using a circle symbol with a size of 2 will result in a line two pixels 
wide. Using this approach you can make the lines any thickness you want. 
You can use any symbol you want, but a circle usually produces the best 
results. What happens is the symbol is used as a brush to 'paint' the line.
