See attached patch. I have two things in there, one is for specifying a 
fieldnum, the other is for being able to specify the name of the form 
for submitting, which is useful in the following case:
<form><input type='submit' name='foo'></form>
<form><input type='submit' name='bar'></form>

you can do:

submit 'bar' 2

to submit the 'bar' button on the second form, this is otherwise 
impossible because you can only select the second form by modifying a field.

the fieldvalue call has been changed to do this:

fieldvalue myform myfield myvalue 2

to change the 2nd field of that name.

Yeah, I mean twills own tests. You can add the webpage to 
twill/tests/twilltestserver.py and either do something in the style of 
test-checkbox.py (that's my style of using twill) or call 
twilltestlib.execute_twill_script('test-form.twill', initial_url=url) 
like test-form.py, and add a .twill file.
