I tried again and was successful.  I didn't use w3m to sign in to twitter 
since so far as I can tell form entries don't work in that browser.  When 
use browser question came up I chose no and copied the link off the screen 
then backgrounded emacs and ran lynx with the url and was able to log into 
twitter and get a pin and exited lynx then foregrounded emacs and keyed in 
the pin and got myself authorized.  I'm on a debian box and it's possible 
w3m-snapshot-el needs another package to do form input entries but I don't 
know for sure I don't think that comes up as a debian dependency.

Have you tried pressing enter on the field? It should allow you to enter
text in the mini-buffer. IIRC, you then use C-c to send the form.

Sorry, that should be C-c C-c.

I used google to fill a form and managed to log into google with 
emacs-w3m-snapshot.  Google was not happy though since I didn't have 
cookies enabled.  Apparently brackets surround empty form fields and 
after hitting enter at the right place, the brackets disappear as a 
field is filled in.
