Well, there is one (though suboptimal): You can assign the item-nr variable 
at 
the start of the second list. Do do this, move the cursor to the start of the 
second list to the left of the numbering but still in the list environment 
(blue frame). Then put an assign statement there (e.g. by entering \assign) 
and enter "item-nr" (without the "") into the first field and the number of 
the 
last item of the second list into the second field. In your example, this 
would 
be "2" (without "").

The bad thing is, if you expand the first list by adding more items, you 
always 
have to adapt the value you assign to item-nr. I tried to put a label in the 
first list and a reference to it in the assign field, but Texmacs doesn't eat 
it, probably because it's a string and not a number. I didn't find a way to 
convert strings to numbers, either. 

Have fun, 

Benno.
