Um, what about ( untested, but it should work)

<dtml-call "manage_delProperties([ids, REQUEST])">, in which ids refer to
the properties.
On a specific object that would be:
<dtml-with <yourobject>>
  <dtml-call "manage_delProperties([ids, REQUEST])">
</dtml-with>

or <dtml-call "<yourobject>.manage_delProperties([ids, REQUEST])">


Note, however, that the ids argument is a list. SO put the ids between
square brackets, like
<dtml-call "<yourobject>.manage_delProperties([id1,id2,id3], REQUEST])">

A form calling the method should also provide a list argument for ids. If
you want to do something of the sort, I suggest you adapt the
manage_propertiesForm from Zope to your needs.

Calling from a URL (for example from a href in a dtml document) is also
possible. Do it like this (tested!):

http://localhost:8080/test/manage_delProperties?ids:list=<property1>&ids:lis
t=<property2>

I don't know that one, so I can't comment.

For object, just change the Properties with objects in the above (and also
see the ZQR).
