[Zope] Delete multiple posts

[Tino Wildenhain]

Hi Gitte,

please read carefully!

The name of your gadget in the form has to be prepended with the
type zope should coerse its content into.
So you have to write <input type="checkbox" name="DeleteArray:list" ...

Please please forget all the things with PHP, Perl etc ;)

Regards
Tino
