The REQUEST object stores form data in its .form member, which is a Python
dictionary.  You will need to find a way to execute the statement, "del
REQUEST.form[ 'variableToErase' ]", or the equivalent expression, "delattr(
REQUEST.form, 'variableToErase' )", neither of which can be done from DTML or
from PythonMethods (ergo, must be done in an ExternalMethod or done from a
Python product).
