Nelson,

To limit the number of attributes displayed you have two choices.  You 
can add the HEADER keyword in the proper layer section or your can use 
the RESULTFIELDSMETADATA Query widget attribute.

First with the HEADER keyword you have to write something like this in 
the map file:

 *To use with Map->Layer->Header
 * insert in the mapfile at the specified layer a header tag like
 * HEADER 
"AREA^|PERIMETER^|POPPLACE_^|POPPLACE_I^|UNIQUE_KEY^Code|NAME^Name|NAME_E^|NAME_F^|REG_CODE^|NTS50^|LAT^|LONG^|SGC_CODE^|CAPITAL^|POP_RANGE^|SHAPE_INDEX^|TILE_INDEX^|LAYER_INDEX"
 * The seperators are '|' and '^'
 * '|' means: seperator between columns
 * '^' means: seperator between real column name and displayed column name
 *     if the displayed column name is empty then the column is not been 
shown (in the example ar only the columns 'Code' (UNIQUE_KEY) and 'Name' 
(NAME) shown -> 'displayed name' (real column name)
 */

Secondly the RESULTFIELDSMETADATA attribute allows you to specify a 
metadata to look for in the mapfile.  The default metadata name is 
RESULT_FIELDS_LIMITED.  In the map file it will look something like:

"RESULT_FIELDS_LIMITED" "NAME  ADDRESS  TOWN"

Note:  The RESULTFIELDSMETADATA query widget attribute is in Chameleon 
cvs only.

The priority  in the way to limit the displayed attributes is like this:
RESULTFIELDSMETADATA
HEADER
ALL
