Pat will tell us!

*leaves cave, wanders down. Looks at golden cow disappointed*

The easiest way to add a template is to make another .info file in the folder then go to management.php | central templates and run the update script

This adds the template to the database but doesn't make it active - so use the form on central templates to set access and make it active

I don't see this as doing interactive stuff - that's the main template's job, but presentation stuff, that's kinda what I'm driving at.
