It is hard to sure from what you have said, but it looks like pbtemp is
just a list of form values If so, you ought to be able to just do

<dtml-in pbtemp>
    <!-- do something with sequence-item-->
</dtml-in>


But the way you have named the form elements is strange and it is hard
to be sure just what you are getting because of that.

I am going by old memories here, but I think you should name all your
inputs the same, not with subscripts.  Just name them all pbtemp.  When
the form is returned, pbtemp will be a list, and then it will work the
way I sketched above.  To avoid the possiblility that only one value
would be returned (if the others were blank), you can force Zope to make
the result a list by naming the input elements pbtemp:list.
