SYNOPSIStk_optionMenu w varName value ?value value ...?
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
This procedure creates an option menubutton whose name is
w, plus an associated menu. Together they allow the user
to select one of the values given by the value arguments.
The current value will be stored in the global variable
whose name is given by varName and it will also be dis-
played as the label in the option menubutton. The user
can click on the menubutton to display a menu containing
all of the values and thereby select a new value. Once a
new value is selected, it will be stored in the variable
and appear in the option menubutton. The current value
can also be changed by setting the variable.
The return value from tk_optionMenu is the name of the
menu associated with w, so that the caller can change its
configuration options or manipulate it in other ways.
