Thanks, Steve. That's the only sensible way to do it, but I just wanted 
to make sure!

  <pre wrap=""><!---->Regarding the labelling of line features the mapfile reference states:

"Lines are labeled at the middle of the longest arc in the visible 
portion of the line."

I assume this means the middle of the visible portion of the line, not

the middle of the full length of the line. Is that correct? I'm just 
trying to make sure that if a portion of a line is within the map view

but its actual middle, not just the middle of the visible part, is 
outside the map view, that it will still be labelled.

I hope that is sufficiently clear. If not, let me know and I'll try to

elaborate.
