I think you forgot the *= $c040 for the above, if you did forget then
trying to run the routine by starting at $c040 may crash it..

 Apart from the change from the bpl to the bmi, it looks aok. As long as
you are starting it with a call to setup, and you have defined the correct
address for setup then it should work.
 Please try to be more specific when you say 'it didnt work'. Did it scroll
the text but incorrectly, or did the screen shake, or did it just crash as
soon as you told it to run?
 If it still doesnt work after those fixes, then I'm sending you the code
on disk, coz I couldnt be stuffed with netmail! (: 

 GH>PS  BTW, is the code edited correctly? I have a nagging suspicion that
 GH>I may have edited the code wrong.  What do you think?
 
 No, it looks fine to me.
