SYNOPSIS

______________________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION
       This procedure creates an option menubutton whose name is pathName,
       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 pathName, so that the caller can change its configuration options
       or manipulate it in other ways.
