 * Will the example outlined in, [http://codex.wordpress.org/Adding_Administration_Menus](http://codex.wordpress.org/Adding_Administration_Menus),
   work when you have to create a new admin. page? One of the parameters for add_options_page()
   calls for a file name but I only have the functions I added to functions.php.
   What should the parameter list look like in this scenario?

 * Where does it say it needs a file name?
 * Please clarify what you’re referring to, do you mean one of the arguments/parameters
   for `add_options_page`?

 * Looking back i think i know what you were getting at, the functions `add_%type%
   _page` require a callback function or file..
 * The parameter you were referring to before can be passed the URL of a file OR!
   a function name to act as a callback function.
 * Posting incase others stumble onto the thread looking for the answer (and/or 
   incase the original poster never figured it out).. 🙂
