MATLAB: Is it possible to have multiple waitbars in nested FOR loops in MATLAB 6.5 (R13)

Using the WAITBAR function, I would like to have multiple waitbars in nested FOR loops. I would like to know if there is an example of how to do this.

The code below is an example of creating multiple waitbars in nested FOR loops.
% Create bar for outer loop
h1 = waitbar(0,'I waitbar Please wait...');
for i=1:100
% Create bar for inner loop
h2=waitbar(0,'J waitbar Please wait...');
% Change position of second bar so the is not overlap
pos_w1=get(h1,'position');
pos_w2=[pos_w1(1) pos_w1(2)+pos_w1(4) pos_w1(3) pos_w1(4)];
set(h2,'position',pos_w2,'doublebuffer','on')
% Scroll through first waitbar
for j=1:100
waitbar(j/100,h2)
end
% Scroll through second waitbar
waitbar(i/100,h1)
% Close first waitbar, recreate in each iteration of outer loop
close(h2)
end
% Close final waitbar
close(h1)
