I've always used this method:

1) create the form (using vi or whatever)
2) enter elm
3) read the form into whatever editor you're using (:r formname in vi)
4) edit the form as necessary
5) quit the editor and carry on with   m   as normal

This isn't too painful - you only need to create the form once (outside
of elm) and you can, of course, read it as many times as you need.
