____________________________________________________________________________________________________________


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.
