Displaying comments in menus

How does one display a comment in a Grub menu?   Can I just use 
a 'title' line with no valid commands following it?

As in, for example:

title        GRUB boot menu on Grub floppy

title                 Linux bf2.4 kernel on /hdc1
root  (hd1,0)
kernel    /vmlinuz   root=/dev/hdc1    /dev/hdb=ide-scsi

title                Win95 on /hda1
unhide (hd0,0)
root (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

etc etc...

(The reason is, that in trying to fool Windoze into booting from other than 
Partition Number One, I'm constantly hiding and unhiding partitions, and it 
really helps to know whether the Grub menu.lst I've encountered is the one on 
the Grub floppy, or the one on /dev/hda1, or /dev/hda2, or even /dev/hdc1.

It also helps in sorting out the occasional confusion between /boot/grub   
and  /boot/boot/grub  )
