I don't have time to explain it, but maybe this snippets from my code can 
help you:

First part, display the items in a table:
---------------------------
<FORM action="board_delProcessor" mehtod=post>

<TABLE border=1 width=75% align=center bgcolor="lightgrey" 
bordercolorlight="#999999" bordercolordark="#666666" cellspacing="1" 
cellpadding="8">

 <dtml-with entries>

   <dtml-in "objectValues(['Message Board Entry'])">
         <dtml-var manage_html>
   </dtml-in>
  </dtml-with>
</TABLE>
[...]



Second part, manage_html
-------------------
  <TR>
       <TD align="center" width ="5%"><INPUT type ="checkbox" name="delID" 
value="<dtml-var id>"></TD>
       <TD align="left" width ="20%"><dtml-var message_subject></TD>
       <TD align="left" width ="5%"><dtml-var author></TD>
       <TD align="left" width ="5%"><FONT size=-2><dtml-var              
post_date></FONT></TD>
  </TR>



Third part, the board_delProcessor
-------------------------
<dtml-with entries>
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('delObj',delID)">
<dtml-call "manage_delObjects(delObj,REQUEST)">
</dtml-with>


This works on my message board management also for multiple posts


hth,

Jan
