Region fill

[Julian Parker]

I had another quick question - I am trying to get a certain fill within a region but cant seem to get it quite right. My understanding was that I should use a symbol and the region would be 'filled' with this but it always shows as a solid white fill. I am trying to get the region something like the following fill:
_________
|. . . .| 
|. . . .|
|. . . .|
|. . . .|
|_______|

And the relavent detail in the MAP file I have is:

  LAYER
    NAME "Wards"
    STATUS ON
    DATA "DataBase\Boundaries\wards_region"
    TYPE POLYGON

           	   WIDTH 2
        END #Style
        #LABEL
        #   FONT "Verdana"

        #END #Label
    END # Class
  END # Layer
