actually i already solved it.
now here is another question.. im trying to make a theme options page and got it going great. but i have the theme options page in a top menu and i want sub menus coming from that. the code in the codex lists this:
add_submenu_page(__FILE__, ‘Test Sublevel 2’, ‘Test Sublevel 2’, 8, ‘sub-page2’, ‘mt_sublevel_page2’);
however the (__FILE__, just makes the link repeat so it shows up twice in the urn giving me error 404s.
