 * How do I create a menu for a custome post type so that all the posts in that 
   type show up on the page?

 * If I’m understanding correctly, I’d just create a link to the CPT archive url
   for your menu so that people can click that and browse all of the CPT posts. 
   Let me know if I’m not quite following correctly though.

 * In reference to these instructions:
 * “Show UI” must be “true”. If an existing top level page such as “tools.php” is
   indicated for second input, post type will be sub menu of that.
 * When I create a CPT using your plugin, it creates a top-level menu by default.
   But if I want to slot in a related CPT as a sub-menu, how do I know the name 
   of the PHP file of the top-level item?

 * From a quick tutorial, [http://wpsnipp.com/index.php/functions-php/display-custom-post-type-menu-as-submenu/](http://wpsnipp.com/index.php/functions-php/display-custom-post-type-menu-as-submenu/),
   and a moment of tinkering, setting the show_in_menu text field to the following
   should do the job.
 *     ```
       edit.php?post_type=my_post_type_slug
       ```
