 * This is most likely a noob question, but I’ve gone through the codex and I’m 
   not understanding it.
 * I’m working on my first plug-in and have had success getting an options page 
   up and running. However, for the sake of cosmetics, I would like to split the
   options into two page. The second page just needs to be linked to the first (
   main) option page.
 * I could create a brand new option page for it, but I don’t want to have two entries
   under the ‘Settings’ tab on the left bar.
 * I’m hoping to either:
    (a) Add a second entry under the settings tab that only
   shows when the first one is visited, thus more or less solving the cosmetic issue,
   or (b) Create a “hidden” option page that is only accessible through a hyperlink
   on the main options page. This one is preferable, since it will mainly be a one-
   time set-up kind of deal. However, I would also need to know how to link it there...
   just a plain link to the page (i.e., “options-general.php?page=mysecondpage”)
   or a way to go through WP interface with it?
 * Sorry for the newb question, I’m just baffled by the codex entries on submenus
   and Google isn’t turning up much 🙂
 * Thanks!
