Hi Manfred,

   Yup your right with the button.  Here is the code for the initializa button

  <html>
    <head><title>Mapserver Richland County</title></head>
  <body>
    <form method=GET action="/cgi-bin/mapserv">
      <input type="submit" value="Richland County MapServer">

      <input type="hidden" name="program" 
               value="mapserv">

      <input type="hidden" name="map" 
                value="/home/mapdata/richland.map">

      <input type="hidden" name="mapext" 
                 value="625173.309834 5085113.091715 718065.960556 5160035.212592">

      <input type="hidden" name="layers" 
                 value="aerial richland boundary cities roads sections rivers lakes  railroad parcels">

      <input type="hidden" name="zoomsize" 
                size="1" value="1">

      <input type="hidden" name="qstring"    value="">
      <input type="hidden" name="qlayer"     value="">
      <input type="hidden" name="qitem"      value="">
      <input type="hidden" name="savequery"  value="">

    </form>
   </body>
  </html>

   Thanks for you time.

if I understand right, you have a page with an initialize button and 
when you click it you get a page with a map and this works fine, ok?

So send us the html-code of your page with the button. Perhaps we can 
"create" an example url for you which you can put in the adress field of 
the browser.

It could be helpful, if you explain to us, how you want to load the map:

- do want to load it from a menu or from a link?
- or should your map be part of an html-page and and shall sit in a div 
or an iframe?
