Edit Attributes dialog box, how to change system variable?

When edditing attributes in a block (using the attedit command) the first eight attribute values contained in that block are displayed. With the "next" button you will then move to the next set. The only thing is that my copy of 2002LT always places the last eddible attribute at position 8 of the dialog box. That is no problem when you have multiples of eight in your block. However when you have say, ten attributes, this is not handy. At the first dialog box you will edit attributes 1 - 8, then press "next" and attributes 3 -

10 are displayed. There must be a system variable to reset this to the next eddible atribute. so pressing the "next" button will bring you to attribute "9". This was the standard setting in the old days (LT-97) I haven't got a clue how to set TL2002 to this command.

Any idees???

Thanks in advance.
