[plt-scheme] Scrollbar/Panel Graphical Toolbox

To the best of my knowledge, scrollbars do not exist as a separate
entity in MrEd.  They only show up as part of a canvas or
editor-canvas.  And canvases cannot currently have controls in them,
though there are ways to simulate controls with snips (there are some
libraries that provide these snips).  From what I understand, these
limitations arise because DrScheme is multiplatform and can only
provide GUI features that would work equally well in the toolkits used
on all platforms.
