Could create a Page anyway for that standalone thingy, then assuming your list of Pages uses the template tag, wp_list_pages(), just add the exclude= parameter with the Page ID of that new page you don’t want seen.
Thanks for the reply Michael. I have no idea where to find the “wp_list pages” tag so that I might edit it. I have searched the files associated with Cutline code and do not find “wp_list pages”. Can direct me?
Link to where you downloaded the theme?
Actually thinking about it, I don’t need the theme. You need to create the Page using the wp_list_pages template tag in the page template.
I found that the particular theme doesn’t use “wp_list_pages” tag at all! The links for certain pages like, “Home”, “About” etc have been hard-coded!! So any page created will not get linked from the top navigation bar. Also the pages are not getting listed on the sidebar too. So no problem!!
Aside from it, the theme-author has not taken into consideration the addition of “current_page_item” class by WP core files.
When will we have a minimum standards to be conformed by all themes, at least for those that are listed in the official theme viewer!
S.K
While it is true that the theme does not automatically populate menu items on the top, it DOES automatically populate Pages and Post Listings in the sidbars. Here is my application of the CUTLINE 3-column theme: slsailing.com
One reason I chose CUTLINE was for the reason it didn’t automatically make Menu tabs for each and every page. Once I learn how to create a PAGE that DOESN’T automatically make a top menu tab I might look at using a different theme.
Interesting that apparently this theme doesn’t adhere to standards since it’s the #2 theme on the 10 Most Downloaded Themes list (http://themes.wordpress.net/columns/3-columns/4415/cutline-3-column-split-11/)
I still need help figuring out how to make a page that does not populate the Page sidebar. Thanks for the input.

Wrong way of thinking… 🙂
Think the other way around! Once you learn how NOT TO DISPLAY a Page or Pages you make – you will be the king. Just need to read the documentation on the template tag and its parameters.
Thanks to all for the advice. I have worked through the issue now.
