FitNesse Testing

Hi all,
I'm aiming to use FitNesse for some regression testing, and whilst writing and testing I've found a few things that I'd like some opinion on.
Firstly I've created a very simple process, with a simple form containing a txt field and numeric field, which when submitted processes a second user step (which Fitness will also open and interact with)
