Norm, If you want to avoid the trouble of creating non-printing expressions, and having them on your score, the other way is to use the MIDI tool. Select the entire staff that you wish to pan (click in front of the staff), and set CC 10 value to whatever you like, as David describes below. You might try vn 1 at 0, va at 42, vc at 84, and vc at 127.
Using expressions for something like this are good if you will have many changes throughout the piece, and you assign the expressions to metatools, but for this, I would grab the MIDI tool first--it's just a simpler process.
