+.SH NAME
+tk_optionMenu \- Create an option menubutton and its menu
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBtk_optionMenu \fIw varName value \fR?\fIvalue value ...\fR?
+.BE
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+This procedure creates an option menubutton whose name is \fIw\fR,
+plus an associated menu.
+Together they allow the user to select one of the values
+given by the \fIvalue\fR arguments.
+The current value will be stored in the global variable whose
+name is given by \fIvarName\fR 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 \fIvalue\fRs 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.
+.PP
+The return value from \fBtk_optionMenu\fR is the name of the menu
+associated with \fIw\fR, so that the caller can change its configuration
+options or manipulate it in other ways.
