Variable substitution

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi James,

I've been fiddling with this also. But in
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/variable_sub/
it states that since Mapserver 4.10.1 the only keywords that support
variable substitution are: DATA TILEINDEX CONNECTION FILTER and EXPRESSION
Don't know if somebody can confirm that?
