labeling with multiple fields

[Stephen Woodbridge]

Michael,

Try something like

CLASS
   ...
   TEXT ([dir] [street])
   LABEL
     ...
   END
END

TEXT overrides the LABELITEM tag. Any text chars inside the () and not
part of the [fieldname] is used as text in the label, so the space
between the fields will be included in the label.
