The message you got means there's some obsolute KEYWORD values in the mapfile. I don't have the demo files in my computer so if you can post the few lines above and below line 44, I might be able to help.

As an aside, you can certainly put the demo files under /ms4w/apache/htdocs. Or you might as well follow the way it's done in MS4W:
1. unzip demo under /ms4w/apps/
2. create a file called httpd_demo.conf (or whatever you want to called it, just make sure to prepend with httpd_) and add these lines to it:
#This is the Apache config file for the MapServer Demo application.

Alias /itasca "/ms4w/apps/itasca"

<Directory "/ms4w/apps/itasca">
    AllowOverride None
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
3. Restart Apache service
4. Edit the demo_init.html and relevant files and replace the paths with the proper ones
5. Check that the demo is running at http://localhost/itasca.

Good luck!

New and just getting started with ms4w on my local windows machine

Where should one dump the itasca files to get the demo up and running:
C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs?

I have placed the itasca data in the following:
C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\mapserver_demos\itasca

And within the map file I changed this line to:
    # change this value to match your setup
    WMS_ONLINERESOURCE
"http://localhost/mapserver_demos/itasca/demo_init.html";


At:    http://localhost/mapserver_demos/itasca/demo_init.html  and clicking
the Initialize button I get the following error

getString(): Symbol definition error. Parsing error near (none):(line 44)

what am I doing wrong?

thanks in advance and bearing with a complete newbie
