Sorry, I was trying to be as clear as I could.

Actually I was trying to avoid writing all the wrapper code that this
code omits. :)  z= does more than this snippet, it figures out what
word it is, displays the list, requests user input, processes user
input, and changes the word.

The only thing I couldn't make it do is work from a function call, but
by now I've blown a few hours and have written the wrapper, complete
with PopUp menu.
