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  menubut-
       ton.  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.
