[themes] displaying a 'View' of a specific content type node?

[sebastian]

Wow, the Devel module is excellent! Thanks!!! Phew, finally feeling like 
I am able to make progress now! Not solved but now I am finally able to 
move forward again.
:D

I am heeding your advice on making a node-product_module.tpl.php file, 
and this is now going in the right direction [now that I finally could 
see where the node.tpl.php file that was being used was!!]

Thank you!!

Sebastian.
