I don't think it's necessary, but I added in just in case now.

I think that if I live it as '', then current plugin file is used
anyway.  But just in case, I changed these too.

In add_submenu_page() calls you have '__FILE__', which doesn't work.
I corrected it and pasted to my plugin and it still doesn't work.

Now I see the menus OK, and I see the output of page_a(), which was
probably called by add_menu_page().  When I click on the submenu
items, nothing happens.

Suggestions/ideas? :)
