(1) First of all, change the name of your selection
    variable from "members" to "members:list". Whenever you
    are doing a multiple selection, you SHOULD append the
    ":list" qualifier, otherwise you get into trouble with
    the particular case of single item selected.

    You may also want to get into the habit of using the
    ":method" tag for the submit button names. This helps
    when you have multiple submit buttons.

    <form action="myFolderURL" method="post">
    ....
    <input type="submit"
     name="myDTMLMethodName:method" value="addmembers">
    ....

    If you can't find documentation on the ":list" and
    ":method" tag, don't worry, you are not alone. :)

(2) The returned ids are in REQUEST.Form.members, or directly
    accessble also as REQUEST.members or simply members.
    It's a Python list. So you can do things like

    <dtml-in members>
        ... do things with <dtml-var sequence-item>,
            or _['sequence-item']
    </dtml-in>

(3) I wouldn't recommend an external method to handle
    form requests. If you really want to handle things
    using external methods, then your declaration should
    not have any argument except self.

    def setmember(self):
        ....

    Then you access the rest through self.REQUEST or
    self.aq_acquire('attributeName').

    Most people use DTML methods/documents to handle
    form requests.

>I have the which collect objects in its attribute as a list.

I don't understand what you mean here. English problem?
