This seems to work in korn: -

Code:
print "1) sub menu"
print "2) nothing"

while true; do
  read SELECT
  case $SELECT in
    1)    print "a) option a"
          print "b) option b"
          while read SELECT2;do
            case $SELECT2 in
              "a") print "A selected";;
              "b") print "B selected";;
            esac
            break 2
          done;;
    2) print "2 selected";;
  esac
  break
done

Output

Code:
poweredge:/home/brad/forum/scratch>menus   
1) sub menu
2) nothing
1
a) option a
b) option b
b
B selected
poweredge:/home/brad/forum/scratch>menus

DESCRIPTION

       The DXmPrintWgtAugmentList routine defines additional print formats and lets you add new options to the print widget  option  menus.   Note
       that  the return value (an integer) is not required when adding print formats. However, the Intrinsics routines XtGetValues and XtSetValues
       use that integer when subsequent calls are made on the option menus.

RETURN VALUES

       An integer that represents either the number of print formats known to the print widget or the identifier of a  new  option  added  to  the
       print  widget option menu, depending on the operation performed.  A Null return indicates that the addition of a print format or option was
       unsuccessful.
