The API method is:

     def manage_delObjects(self, ids=[], REQUEST=None):
        """Delete a subordinate object """

so you would call:

<dtml-call "manage_delObjects(['a', 'list', 'of', 'object', 'ids'])">

PS This was at one time in the Zope online help system, but that had so
many more problems than benefits that we took it out.  There is a
project on the table right now to revive it.
