I think for manage_addBoring to be global, you'd probably have to stick in
in lib/python somewhere (not in Products). However, you don't need to go to
that extreme. This is untested, but I think it would work:

<dtml-with "manage_addFolder(formxx_id, formxx_title)">
    <dtml-with "manage_addProduct['Boring']">
       <dtml-call "manage_addBoring(formxx_id)">
       <dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(formxx_id)">
    </dtml-with>
</dtml-with>

If you do a view source (a browser view source, not a DTML view source) on
the Zope management interface, you can see it doing things like this.
