Not quite... manage_delObjects takes a string which is the id of the object
to be deleted.  Your example

    <dtml-call "manage_delObjects('the_id')">

was passing a string 'the_id' to the method.  I might have interpreted what
you were trying to do wrongly, but I believe you actually wanted to pass the
_value_ of the_id.

In fact you just have to put the correct string into the REQUEST and then
make sure you have the object you're trying to reference in your current
namespace, e.g. by using <dtml-with foo_namespace><dtml-var
"manage_delObjects(the_id)"></dtml-with>.  If you need more help, post the
snippet you're working on again.
