scrolling fix for DrRacket

Oh, I think I finally get it.

The problem is that the leftover amount is returned by `gen-wheels`.
With scaling by `wheel-scale`, the returned leftover has been scaled
--- but when the leftover is passed back to `gen-wheels` later, it gets
scaled again.

Applying the scale to `WHEEL_DELTA` instead of `amt` solves the
problem, because then the returned leftover amount is on the same scale
as the argument amount.

Thanks for working through this, and I'll push this change!
