[SOLVED] how to create a page template?

Hi,

I am new to Wordpress and I am using Atahualpa. I try to use WP more like a CMS. So I have a lot of pages. In the documentary of WP it is written that I can use templates for pages to insert posts of a specific category in my pages. The page.php should be the default template. And I just need to create a new something.php for each page which should have a unique template. But there is no page.php in the atahulapa-folder. When I copy one from the default-WP-theme and name it like template1.php, it doesn't show up in the template-dropdown-list. How does Atahualpa handle templates? Does it at all? Or is there any other way to bring complete articles to a page?

Greetings,
Drongo
