    I wish to create a new template page (so that i can use get_header() ect. and i wish to call it from a new php file in the root folder.

    eg
    Template File: pm_view.php
    PHP File: pm.php

    so pm.php needs to call standard stuff as well as load the desired template file.

    can someone gimme a code snippet or advice on how to do this. Cheers!

    Either… or.
    You can have it as a Page (created in WP > Write . Write Page) and use your sepcial Page template – or, if you have it outside of the theme directory, you need a complete (php) file and put this at the top of it, before everything:
    <?php
    require('./path-to-your-blog/wp-blog-header.php');
    ?>
    and you can use all the WP functions in it.
