WMS extent problems

[Andrew Smith]

Thanks to Steve Bowden for this solution to my little problem.

All that was required was the following to be added within the METADATA 
tag of each layer definition, i.e.

LAYER
	NAME ...
	STATUS ....
	METADATA
	     "wms_title" "sewerage_lines"
	     *"wms_extent" "422822.62475305 7241085.61869966 444489.23175759 7256085.52572127"*
	END
	
	CONNECTIONTYPE ....
	DATA ....
	
END


Thanks again Steve
