[Zope] Cut and Paste Programmatically

Does anyone know how to cut and paste programmatically by passing in the variable names? What I'd like to do is setup a form that would allow a user to enter a file_name, select a folder from a list and then run a dtml-method on this input. The method would involve calling either a python script or external method that would take in the users input and cut and paste the object into the correct folder. Any idea on how I could go about doing this? I have seen a lot of code that involves hard-coding in the folders, but is there anyway around this? Any help would be appreacited. Thanks, john
