Single Layer (CGI) call for Legend CHIP

[Bob Basques]

All,

Is there a way to use to request a single line LEGEND entry from a
MAPfile without a TEMPLATE?

We're trying to build a dynamic Layer/Legend and have MapServer build
the LEGEND Chip from the Mapfile Layer Automatically.

If I possibly  had seperate Map File for each layer, could this be
accomplished?  I suspect that I could then, but then I would need to add
in the LEGEND parameters for every Mapfile, correct?

We're really trying to bypass the generation of a complete legend by
Mapserver and have the generation of the legend items be configured on a
bylayer request from the CGI.

Thanks for any input.
