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.
