Hi Alex:

This is kind of an answer to your previous question as well.

I think that while encoding your command into the URL works you're not
going to be happy with it because it will always take you to the manage
screen.

What I've done before is create a document called deleteResult for example
which will contain the DTML commands to actually delete the object. ie:

<!--#call "manage_deleteObject(REQUEST['objToDelete'])"-->
<h1>The object was deleted</h1>

This way you can hide the management interface from users if you want, or
you can redirect to a particular folder after you're done the delete.

Hope this helps,
