Yes, I want to enter an address, have the map zoom to the address
point, then to pan around this location, using the same template (map).
I understand that this is not possible using regular MapServer features.
How can I do this using MapScript ?

Lawrence,

I am not sure I understand clearly what you are trying to do. Can you
give me an example of the input to "locate a point using itemquerymap".
Are referring to enter and address and have the map zoom to the address
point? Or something else.
