I'm not referring to the map file, I'm talking about doing it in
Openlayers. MapServer.js has :
   map_imagetype: "png"
which gets put into the image request url AFTER my {layers:
"LayerName", map_imagetype: "jprg"} thus over riding my attempt to set
the image type.

I changed the image type definition on MapServer.js, but then I get
nothing, presumably because Openlayers is expecting a PNG.
