You can pass a value like this:

document.form1.select.options[1].value =
document.form2.select.options[1].value

You can pass the text seen by the user like this:

document.form1.select.options[1].text =
document.form2.select.options[1].text

Or you can pass both, using both lines.  However, I don't know that this is
"prettier" than creating a new Options object.
