[Zope] Property Sheet Questions

Ok..Murphy's Law of Mailing Lists applies here: No matter how hard you
try to solve your problem, you find the solution five minutes after you
ask the list:

The magic version of edit:
<dtml-call "propertysheets.propsheet.manage_changeProperties(REQUEST)">
<dtml-if "REQUEST['oldid'] != REQUEST['id']">
<dtml-call "manage_renameObject(REQUEST['oldid'],REQUEST['id'],REQUEST)">
</dtml-if>
<dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(PARENTS[1].absolute_url()+'/manage_main')">

All of my other questions still apply
