Hi Michael,
What you should look at in the manual is
Appendix :: module ObjectManager:

It states that:
"""
An ObjectManager contains other Zope objects. The contained objects are 
Object Manager Items.

To create an object inside an object manager use manage_addProduct:
   self.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFolder(id, title)

[My Note]
In a PythonScript you can use:

context.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFolder(id, title)

[/My Note]

In DTML this would be:
   <dtml-call "manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFolder(id, title)">

These examples create a new Folder inside the current ObjectManager.

manage_addProduct is a mapping that provides access to product 
constructor methods. It is indexed by product id.

Constructor methods are registered during product initialization and 
should be documented in the API docs for each addable object.

[My Note]
E.g.
'OFSP', manage_addFolder, and the arguments to manage_addFolder
will be different for diffrent objects.
OFSP is the Products for regular Zope objects (Image, File, Folder ( 
Ordered Folder), DTML Method etc).
[/My Note]
