Grid and Grab . . .

[Roger Guay]

Thanks, Jan.  I came up with a similar solution about 5 minutes after I 
posted my question (Don't you hate when that happens?).  I kept the 
Grab command on mouseDown and wrote a script on mouseUp that does the 
kind of math you propose.  Works OK but results in a slightly different 
user experience.

Cheers, Roger
