[ms4w-users] Layers added but not displayed !!!!

[Daniel Morissette]

Dharani,

To increase your chances of getting a reply, and to reduce unnecessary 
noise, please try to use the appropriate list for your questions, and if 
possible avoid cross-posting to multiple lists.

The ms4w-users list is for issues specific to the _installation_ of MS4W 
packages, once you're running any further questions about using the 
installed software should be sent to the support list for that product, 
i.e. the mapserver-users list in this case.
