Well, I have worked it out! I am using the VGA monitor now...

It seems that it wasn't actually the scan rate that was the problem, this
monitor seems to be able to go down to <28kHz.

For anyone who wants to know, what I did was do a lot of trial and error
with MonEd.  I ran WB on a 15kHz monitor, in PAL mode then ran an
application (e.g. AmIRC) which was set to use DBLPAL.  This sends the
screen wild (obviously) so you switch back to WB.  Now run MonEd, click
"jump" which puts it onto the AmIRC screen.  Switch back to WB again and
drag the screen down so you can see the AmIRC screen behind.  Play with
the MonEd settings, then switch to the MonEd screen and plug in the PC
monitor!  Long winded but eventually I found some settings that worked.

For future reference, it seemed to be the VSSTOP parameter which needed
fiddling with most urgently.
