Edit Query Files

[Jason Sievers]

I would like to know if there is any way to view and/or edit MapServer query files (.qy).  I ask this because I have an application where a query is performed and then the user may add or remove features from the results set.    I am using MapServer CGI 4.8.4.  Currently I accomplish this by managing an array containing all the UID's for the selected features.  Then I apply a FILTER to my map layer using the UID's stored in my array.  This works but the query string passed to MapServer's CGI program can be very large and even exceed the maximum URL length (~2000 for Internet Explorer).  I'm looking for a way to limit the length of my query string and using a query file would do that.  Any thoughts on the query file format would be helpful.
  Thanks,
