Thank you for you help Curtis.  When i try the command:

curl -O "http://neuron/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=../html/mapserver/htdocs/display.map"

a file is infact downloaded but it is not the image that i am looking for,
infact it is not an image at all, i would assume this is the case becuase i am
no longer specifying a layer name in the URL.  Is there anyway i can download a
specific layer from MapServer?
