It's not necessarily easy, I'm not sure there's a TOS function that is 
called just before jumping at the start of the program.

But another way to do this is to run your program from MonST. Monst will 
load the .prg but it will not run it. At this point you will know 
where's the program's start and you can enter debuger, add breakpoint, 
go back to emulation and run the program from Monst.
