I did this by customizing the join_form and register dtml methods in portal_skins, but that would be applicable only if you are using CMF. Otherwise, look at your acl_users folder, and the code that it is using when the Add button is clicked. If you want to do this without an html form, then look at the python source to see the method you need to call, in this case "manage_users". I find this method in User.py --> def manage_users(self,submit=None,REQUEST=None,RESPONSE=None) I believe that you can use something like <dtml-call expr="acl_users.manage_users(...)"> The params for the method can be found in the form fields in the Add User form.

I've been searching... but I must be searching for the wrong thing...
