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.
