Select command to build menu
Hello everyone.
I am using the select command to build a menu, here is my question:
Is it possible to generate a menu which contains several sections and have a separator between the sections without having a selection number generated in front of the separator?
This is a sample of what I would like to generate:

Menu title
--------Subtitle 1 ----------
1) Selection1
2) Selection2
3) Selection3
--------Subtitle 2 ----------
4) Selection4
5) Selection5
6) Selection6

followed by a Prompt controlled by PS3

Any suggestions are welcome, I know I could possibly use a while or other ways to create the menu, yet Select does such a great job ....
Thanks.
