[plt-scheme] 'grabbing' the canvas/pasteboard? to scroll with the mouse pointer

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a 'grab and scroll' method that lets the
canvas be moved by the mouse pointer.

I'm pretty happy with getting the location via   get-x  get-y and
dc-location-to-editor-location,
but I'm trying to find an alternative to the 'scroll-to' to actually
do the moving?

(The idea is that while the left mouse button is down, the mouse
position is static with respect to the pasteboard position, but moves
with respect to the canvas.)

Cheers,

Stephen
