This is an example mextURL function that I used to add a folder
containing a page, and then go to the folder. Going to the page is just
an addition to the last line.

Problem:
Would like to add an object to a container and jump to the edit screen for the newly created object immediately. Currently, adding an object to a container takes me to the container's content list. When there are 10 or 15 people all adding objects, finding the one I entered in order to edit it is a usability issue.
Solutions:
a) there is something already in zope3 that I don't know about :)
b) create an "Add and Edit" button to go beside the "Refresh" and "Add"
buttons in the standard template and create some handler for this.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
