[Neos] How to select different page templates

[Nick]

Hi Mattias,

Thanks for your reply, this would be a really useful feature for the 
release.

I also would really appreciate a bit more help with trying to implement 
this as I am not quite sure how I would achieve this, I am still trying 
to get an understanding of how things work with Neos.

Your help would be appreciated

Nick
