Have a look at LABELANGLEITEM in the MAP file reference.

I have a layer (SHP) containing street names that is presented in points. All these points have an angle defined and a column for the street name. I wan't to read the street name and use the angle for drawing the string. "Do you have an angle column in the shape file that you want to use for the orientation of the label?" - YES I also have a shape-file in LINE format that defines the angle but doesn't contain the street names so is there a way to merge these layers or something?
