i have a table of string values for different themes.  I want to set this up so that i can use
for -,v in pairs(availableThemes) do
  menuStr = v[1]
end

when i go through the menu and select a theme, say Water (the default theme)
i can then set a variable called theme to refernce the second value of the availableThemes
which is one of the tables show below.

I have tried every way i could think of but nothing worked

	"Water (Default)", defaultTheme,
	"Fire", fireTheme,
	"Sublime Text 2", st2Theme,
