Dave,
What are the extents of the Bexar county shapefile as report by ogrinfo
and how do they compare to the extents of the mapfile. You mapfile
extents should probably have negative longitudes. So the extents you are
displaying are nowhere near the county in question.

I can make/display maps where I use the canned tutorials. But I’m
failing to create map displays when I substitute shapefiles that are of
local interest.
The shapefiles in question are apparently valid, since I can read them
without any problems using “ogrinfo –al shapefile.shp”.
I extract the decimal dimensions and create my own *.map file, but all I
ever get is the layer for pseudo-credits.
If someone could tweak my map file (which follows), it would be a
valuable learning experience for me.
TIA.
