Items in the Form scope are treated like a structure. To get all the
fields, you can use structKeyList(). You can also use form.fieldnames,
a built in list of form fields.
To get the value, you use struct notation. Assume "key" is one form
field. The value can be retrieved like so:
form[key]
So all you need to do is loop through and examine fields that begin
with HEADLINEID.
