Randy: I'm thinking we have a documentation issue here. I'm not sure that the
TRANSPARENT option is even supported anymore. Typically MapServer respects the
transparency of the image itself, so you need to create a transparent GIF for
that to work. Give that a shot and I'll check the source (and update the docs)
to make sure.

I'm attempting to set the background transparency for a symbol that I've
created, but with no success.
My symbol definition
SYMBOL
NAME "logo"
TYPE PIXMAP
IMAGE "h2o_logos/logo.GIF"
TRANSPARENT 0
END
According to the reference setting a color index in the GIF sets the
transparency (i.e. TRANSPARENT 0). Color index is 0 is black, and the
output map layer symbol is not transparent!

I've looked over this page and it only discusses PNG files. I can't get any
of my PNG file variations to work either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
