You could use JavaScript to set the value for you.

First in you header define what setSubmit does like
<script>
    function setSubmit() {
        document.MyForm.Mysubmit.value = "Submitted";
    }
</script>

In your form declaration you would put something like

<form name="MyForm" onSubmit="setSubmit()">
. . .
    <input type="hidden" name="MySubmit" value="">
</form>

This is a very rough suggestion and you will need to flesh it out. YMMV...
