Reddy -

I'm not familiar with the details of MapInfo's "seamless layers" but you can produce a similar effect using the GROUP statement in MapServer.  You can assign multiple layers to the same GROUP and then refer to that group by name as if it were a single layer.

Hi,

In MapInfo there is a concept called the "Seamless Layers" where you can
create a single layer making use of more than one layer. Is there a similar
kind of concept available in MapServer. I don't have much idea about
mapserver as these are my first days with it. 

How do I write the code in .MAP file to tell the Server that these bunch of
section make one layer.

Any suggestions, ideas, help??

Thanks a lot.
