NAME

       tk_optionMenu - Create an option menubutton and its menu

SYNOPSIS

       tk_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 displayed 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.
