Watch Tower crashed the program. The screen scrolled up and then
bombed out with Bad Program.

Grrrr. So that's why it keeps crashing. It's trampled all over the
NMI space at &D00. So, as soon a network packet passes it jumps to
the NMI space and falls over the code JSW has put there.

I'll have a look at it. As it is I've been fiddling with JSW-BBC
to get it working on the Master, so I'll see if I can find out
what's wrong with the Watch Tower as well.
