I have tried a few of the themes but cannot find any that seem to support sub pages of sub pages that show on the top level menus. I know I can do it with coding.... but I am in a hurry and wonder if is built in an i am missing it?

You want your sidebar.ss(typical name) file in themes\Theme_Name\templates\Includes\ to look something like this:

<% control Level(1) %>

<% if Children %>
<a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode test">$Title</a>

<ul class="sidemenu">
<% control Children %>
<li><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode">$MenuTitle</a>

<!--Level 2 of the Menu -->

<% if LinkOrSection = section %>
<ul class="sidemenu">
<% control Children %>
<li><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode">$MenuTitle</a>

<!-- Level 3 of the Menu -->

<% if LinkOrSection = section %>
<ul class="sidemenu">
<% control Children %>
<li><a href="$Link" title="Go to the $Title.XML page" class="$LinkingMode">$MenuTitle</a></li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_if %>

</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>
<% end_if %>
</li>
<% end_control %>
</ul>

<% end_if %>
<% end_control %>
