<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('name', 'Bob')>
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('password', 'uncle')>
etc...

<dtml-call "acl_users.manage_users(submit='Edit', REQUEST=REQUEST)">

'name' and 'password' can be form value, of course.  This is now the
managment interface works.

Remember, Zope being open source, it is usualy a good idea to see how
Zope does something that is similar to your problem.  Since you can
inspect all of Zope's behavior from the source, you can find all kinds
of tips and tricks.  Zope is not only an application platform, but it is
also an application written *with* that platform, just like web
applications you and others want to write.
