It isn't exactly clear to me what you are trying to accomplish Nelson.
I see two possibilities:
 
a.  If you want to create a label that is independent from the features
in your data set, you can create a class with an inline feature, setting
the x and y coords, and using 'text' to specify what the label text
should be.  You could even create this labeled feature on the fly by
passing this info in as a URL configuration.  If you just want to show
the label, you could do this in an annotation layer instead of a
point/poly/line layer.  
 
b.  If you want to specify label points for your a point/poly/line
layer, you could create a point dataset of your label points and then
use that as the basis of an annotation layer 
 
With either of these methods, you could either specify the label
position to a fixed location, like the center, or upper left position,
or you could use auto and let MapServer find the best position for it.

        Hi,
        
        you can't give some coordinates to your label. I solved the
problem by creating a point layer.

                Is it possible to create a label and position it with
given coordinates? If I do not like the positioning of the labels, can I
in any way specify my own?
