[Zope] RE: How to Delete ZClass Instances programmatically??

[RC Compaan]

Instead of directing your form to URL0 direct it back to your custom
interface.  In your form you can evaluate the value of submit to determine
the appropriate action:

 <dtml-if "REQUEST['submit'] == 'Delete'">
    <dtml-call "manage_delObjects(ids)">

untested.
