[Zope-dev] acl_users.manage_users() and RESPONSE.redirect()

I am using the following (adding to acl_users folder with manage_users) to
do user self registration after some initial authentication using Zope
authentication and a common login/passwd.  It works fine if things are as
they should be, but when things go south, password and confirm not equal,
login already exists, etc., it isn't so great.  I would like to get ahold of
the output of manage_users to display on a redirected RESPONSE back to the
original vendorRegistration DTML Document.  How can I do this?  

Also, is there a better way to check for a successful user add?  Right now I
am using,
"  <dtml-if expr="acl_users.getUser(login)">  ", and that works, but
wondered if there was a better way.

Help would be much appreciated.

thanks,
Chris
