[Randy How]

Thank you very much!

I like the runtime substitution.

When is this going to be documented at http://ms.gis.umn.edu/ ?

Randy,

yes, there is in fact another way to achieve the same thing. Have a look 
at these posts to the MapServer Dev list some time ago:

Everything that applies to expressions should apply to filters too in 
this regard.
