I'm going to sound like as complete newbie be assking this (which I am
really).

I have a GeoTIFF raster image and I'm not sure how to setup the projection
in my map file.  Can someone take a look at the below info from gdalinfo
and tell me what I need to do?  If at all possible, some details so I can
learn a bit?
