restricted package procedures in forms v3

I am new to Oracle forms and I am trying to use the package procedure NEXT_BLOCK in a trigger. The idea is to use an ON-VALIDATE-FIELD trigger on the last field in a block to execute NEXT_BLOCK so that the user doesn't need to keep pressing next_block. The problem is that I have discovered that NEXT_BLOCK is a restricted packaged procedure and so cant't be used in an ON-VALIDATE-FIELD trigger. I gather I should put the NEXT-BLOCK procedure in a KEY-NXTFLD trigger but my problem is how can I find out if the current field is the last one in a block (and so decide when NEXT_BLOCK should be called)

I realise that the answer is probably very simple - but it eludes me!!!!
