Untested... I'm assuming your lines property is called "availability". Let's
make the form variable called "newAvLine".

<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('availability', [newAvLine] + availability)">
<dtml-call ""propertysheets.properties.manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)">

This is specifically if you want to add an item to the beginning of the
list. I think you'll have to do trickery with slices in order to put
something in the middle...

(something like
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('availability', availability[0:i] + newAvLine +
availability[i:]">

I don't think you can really do any kind of variable assignments in DTML
other than REQUEST.set.
