[plt-scheme] getting to grips with keymaps

Using on-local-char is probably not the way you want to do this, but
you wouldn't need t ochange what is below (unless you wanted to map
those keys in the keymap).

Did you find the keymap% class and the set-keymap method of the
editor? If so, is there something specifically that was confusing? (I
know there is no entry in the guide for keymaps.) Try reading the
map-function and add-function methods' documentation.
