Something like (depending on how you name the fields on your form)::

 ## Script (Python) "simplenewsitem_edit"
 ##parameters=title, description, subject, text, choice=' Change '
 ##title=Edit a Simple News Item
 
 context.edit(text, description)

  context.setTitle( title )
  context.setSubject( subject )


 qst='portal_status_message=Simple+News+Item+changed.'

 if choice == ' Change and View ':
     target_action = context.getTypeInfo().getActionById( 'view' )
 else:
     target_action = context.getTypeInfo().getActionById( 'edit' )

 context.REQUEST.RESPONSE.redirect( '%s/%s?%s' % ( context.absolute_url()
                                                 , target_action
                                                 , qst
                                                 ) )

Tres.
