Aha, thanks. I didn't know that about the publisher.

Now I'm afraid I'm too stupid to see how to use RESPONSE.redirect
after reading the description in the Zope Book API appendix.

My method now looks like this:

def manage_addMyProduct(self, id, title='', REQUEST=None,
RESPONSE=None):
    """Add a MyProduct instance to the folder."""
    self._setObject(id, MyProduct(id, title))
    if REQUEST is not None:
        whereto= REQUEST['URL3']
        return RESPONSE.redirect(whereto, 0)


That just prints the URL as a string.
OK, so maybe I'm not supposed to use the return value?
So I try it like this:


def manage_addMyProduct(self, id, title='', REQUEST=None,
RESPONSE=None):
    """Add a MyProduct instance to the folder."""
    self._setObject(id, MyProduct(id, title))
    if REQUEST is not None:
        whereto= REQUEST['URL3']
        RESPONSE.redirect(whereto, 0)


Now when I submit the form, I can wait for a result forever and not
get anything.

How am I *really* supposed to do it?
