Hi Albert,

I think this solution of David with the onload routine is really good.

But if you want to try the URL approach you could try:

http://your-host/cgi-bin/mapserv?program=mapserv&
map=/home/mapdata/richland.map&
mapext=625173.309834 5085113.091715 718065.960556 5160035.212592&
layers=aerial richland boundary cities roads sections rivers lakes 
railroad parcels&
zoomsize=1

I did put together the informations from your html-code. You have to 
change the hostname. Then put this URL in one line into the address 
field of your browser. I hope, I made no mistakes and do not create 
confusion.

Manfred
