Ed,
I took your advice and and replaced the projections with the espg codes.
I also simplified the map file to just have two layers: both shapefile,
not PostGIS.  However, I am still having the same problem: I only see the
county data when I put both in the file.

I've included the reduced map file below, and I've sent a copy of the data
to Paul to see if he can help.  Is there a standard way to distribute
layer files for review on this board?  Or should I post a URL or the like?

Thanks for your time,
Bill
