The manage_addXXX methods generally have a parameter that you can set 
for content (although this is not always shown in the generated API docs.)

For DTMLMethods, for instance, you can see in the source 
(lib/python/OFS/DTMLMethod.py) a function definition

def addDTMLMethod(self, id, title='', file='', REQUEST=None, submit=None):
    """Add a DTML Method object with the contents of file. If
    'file' is empty, default document text is used.
    """

which is used as 'manage_addDTMLMethod()' (this is defined in some 
__init__.py). So if you say

data = "I am the new content. Woo hoo."
context.manage_addDTMLMethod("index_html", "Index", data) # document 
name & title

you will create an index_html titled "Index" with the content "I am the 
new content. Woo hoo."
