knock, knock...

any suggestions on the MapScript syntax for setting `mode=tile&tilemode=gmap&tile={X}+{Y}+{Z}` were X, Y, Z are received as http query params?

My question is -- one, will the above work? and, how do I pass mode=tile and tilemode=gmap and the tile={X}+{Y}+{Z} parameters to the program? I didn't see any MapScript documentation for these parameters. I need to translate a call such as [http://localhost/cgi-bin/myapp?layers=layer1&mode=tile&tilemode=gmap&tile=30+46+7] into a MapScript request.
