Chip: You need a layer to essentially hold/symbolize the dynamic point. Assuming that's called, say,
'mypnt' then the URL would like:
...&map_mypnt_feature=new&map_mypnt_feature_points=-122.1234+47.5678&map_mypnt_feature_text=My+House&...
If you're using 4.8 you can ommit the 'map_mypnt_feature=new' variable, it is not needed.
Anyway, verbose but it should work.

I am running MapServer under IIS6.0 as a CGI in, without MapScript support.
My projection is lat and long. In either map or browser mode I'd like to be
able to pass in a lat long coordinate via the URL, along with a label for
that coordinate and have a symbol placed on the resulting map with the label
associated with it. For example, if I have a symbol to use named "marker",
I'd like to pass in the lat and long coordinate (such as "-122.1234+47.5678"
and a label, such as "My House" and have the "marker" symbol appear on the
appropriate place on the map labeled as "My House". How would I do that?
Your help is appreciated.
