label in symbol?

[Fawcett, David]

If the Wiki was still open to public editing, I would suggest posting the solution on the SymbolExamples page of the Wiki.  Perhaps once the new MapServer Web site is up, we can get more examples up there.

Ah, I had looked at that once long ago to get me started and haven't
touched it since.  Then for this I was looking on the documentation
page of the website for ideas from examples and tutorials and missed
the demo.

Looks very simple, just not obvious from the MAP file documentation.

thanks
