How to register an item to the SELECT button in Pokemon Fire Red?

I've heard there is a method to do this in Pokemon FireRed, but I just cannot figure it out.

When you press the SELECT key an nothing is bound, you get prompted:

An item in the BAG can be registered to SELECT for easy use.

But how exactly do you do this?

I tried pressing the SELECT button in the bag, but this just gives you the ability sort the items, it doesn't bind them...
