Need a "blit" function to make a scrolling tilemap in Shoes (Ruby)

Question

So I need to approximate a blit-like function for a scrolling tilemap editor built in Shoes. I can't find anything remotely like this in the examples or documentation. The tankspanker example does a bit of scrolling, but it uses vector functions only and doesn't seem do any copying of images to other images.

Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks a bunch.
