Moshu:
Thanks for the prompt reply. I think I uncovered the problem, but I would still appreciate your help with the solution. Here is a link to the Theme.

When I reviewed comments to the developer from users, I discovered someone else had noted the same problem. Here is the developer’s response:
“Gatto, since there is just one default template file (page.php) in the theme there can't be a template selection in the administration interface.
Try adding a PHP-comment with the template name at the beginning of a new file to implement custom templates. (Also read the WordPress Codex article on creating pages.)
I've tested custom pages with the theme and it works just fine.�
NOTE: I have never used PHP before, and find this confusing. However, if you can point me to the code, and tell me exactly where to add it, I will try and fix this. THANKS!
