You need to have a form variable named "oldid", and you can reference it
as REQUEST.oldid.  Similarly for newID.  You can arrange that by calling
each of the form elements by the same name, "oldid:list" (and similarly
for newid, of course).  You only need to add ":list" in case you might
one time have only one, because it would be returned as a string instead
of a list.

Then in your method rename2, you would not use brackets to make oldid a
list, because it already is one.

BTW, you might as well get rid of the old syntax and write

<form action="<dtml-var URL0>"

It is odd to see the old !--# and the new dtml- mixed together.
