querying maps

[nishith datta]

hi all,
can someone refer to me some place about querying maps -----the basics.
And I donot have good understanding of the mapserver cgi functioning
also...without that things are just happening
and I hate to think I am doing things without knowing whatz going on!
So how does mapserver work .....any references.
Its a cgi so the server routes the request to it and the output is displayed
as a html through a template that much is easy
but I need to understand the software functioning more intricately
thanks
nishith
