I think you need to read the introduction of LEaP in the AMBER manual,
and do the connection between what is written in this manual and the
q4md-forcefieldtools.org tutorial. I just did:

TEST = sequence { ACE ALA ALA NME }
# select the residue number 2
select TEST.2
relax TEST
deselect TEST

For "select", you can use:
select molecule
          or
select molecule.residue
          or
select molecule.residue.atom
