You can download the manual from AMSAT.ORG...it's free.  But to answer
your question directly.  Go to sat update and select manual edit, select a
sat and look at the groups line which is 3rd from the bottom.  If you put
! in this entry, it will show up as one of the displayed sats.  I don't
know what happens if you select more than 7 but my guess is that it will
display the first 7.  There are other groupings you can set using this
technique....better get the manual.
