Jeff, 
  Thank you for your patience, as (I know) no-one is *paying* you to look at this, 
  or to even think about this.  I could be doing something stupidly
  wrong... many apologies if that is the case, which may be very frustrating for 
  you to decipher what is going wrong.  
   
  Here are the steps I took and and the results below.  
   
  1) From CMD window go into c:/ms4w and executed apache-uninstall.bat
       C:\ms4w>apache-uninstall.bat
     The Apache Web Server service is stopping.
     The Apache Web Server service has stopped.
     Removing the Apache Web Server service
     The Apache Web Server service has been removed successfully.
   
  2) Unzipped ms4w_2.0.zip (this is latest version available on the download page). 
     Results put into c:/ms4w_2.0
   
  3) From CMD window 
     C:\>cd ms4w_2.0
     C:\ms4w_2.0>dir
    Volume in drive C is HP_PAVILION
    Volume Serial Number is 15FB-1A52

      Introduction
  Welcome to MS4W v2.0, the MapServer package for Windows. This package is intended to simplify your life if you are:
    
   a novice mapserver user who doesn't want to learn how to set up map server windows just yet ...

   you're giving a workshop and you want 15 identical machines quickly ... 
  etc. etc. etc. ......
   
   
  4) Unzipped mapserv_demo_ms4w

    This demonstration application will take you through various levels of complexity. Starting with a basic application that allows a user to pan/zoom and change layers we add:     
   dynamically configured scalebars   
   javascript-based panning   
   query results to a frame   
   and finally, a DHTML rubber-band zoom/query capabilty 
  The base data is the old-reliable Itasca dataset that we know and love...    [input]   [input]   [input]   [input]   [input]   [input]   [input]   [input]   Basic Application  -- Adds second scalebar  -- Adds pan controls  -- Adds frames  -- Adds dhtml rubber-band box  [input]
