I have found a possible partial solution to this problem.

In my CGI program, I am using the proj utility to convert the 
(dynamically determined) lat/long extent of the main map to metres and 
then using URL substitution to pass these values to mapserv.

For testing purposes,I have manually edited the map file to set the 
reference map extent to the same values and the "box of interest" 
display now works.

My problem now is to work out how to change the reference map extent 
(and image) dynamically. (See separate posting.)

Cheers,
Stephen
