[Coco] Word Power 3.3

An aspect of Word Power 3.3 that may be responsible for the problem is that
it puts its stack in the memory area where the ROMs exist, which is fine so
long as you stay in the all-RAM mode that is normal for the CoCo 3.  But
any switching to ROM mode will kill the stack and cause a crash.  Are you
running this with a modified RSDOS that switches to ROM mode sometimes?

There is no easy fix for this problem.
