Transparent Layer Question?

[Fawcett, David]

A quick search of the list on transparency would probably get you a good
answer.  

Take a look at TRANSPARENCY here:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/layer

Remember that TRANSPARENCY actually acts like you might expect a term
called OPACITY to work.  In other words TRANSPARENCY 10 is quite
see-through and TRANSPARENCY 90 is not very see-through.  

Of course, pick TRANSPARENCY 50 and it won't be confusing at all! ; /

As a background for my application I would like to overlay a colored
shape 
file on top of a black and white  hillshade .tif.  Is it possible, in
the 
map file, to set the colored shape file to have some transparency so
that 
the hillshade is visible?

Thanks,

Sam Young
