Projection/Extent help

Hello all.  I'm a mapserver newbie trying to figure something out.
Basically, I have two sets of shapefiles in different projections and
units.  One has units of dd, and one has units of feet.

When I combine the two, I'd like to define my extents for the whole
.map file using dd instead of feet.  I've made up a sample .map file
where I'm simply trying to display one layer with units of feet while
defining the extent using dd.  However, everything I try just gives me
a blank page.

If I define the extent in terms of feet and drop the "proj=latlong"
line, it shows up fine.  But I just can't get it to work when I define
the extent in dd.

Any help would be much appreciated!
