Selecting an item from Drop Down menu

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please could you provide code to select first item from a drop down menu?

Alternatively I could select an item from a dropdown menu by its label, like 
here:

selenium.Select "document.UniFORM.p_010_005", "label=account - 181140200 - xyz"

however the problem is that xyz part is generated at random, is there any 
workaround, i.e. selecting label by partial string match?

many thanks!
