anybody know if its possible to pass in a symbol file to the openMsx debugger which also declares the slot and segment?

I'm doing a dissassmbly of a SCC MegaRom using IDA PRO and currently I convert the .map into a .sym which results in something like the below..

AttractModePlay: equ 0x47A1
GameMenuLogic: equ 0x47C1

I can't seem to work out or find any info on how to declare the slot and segment in the file? Any one have an example file?

The openMSX debugger's symbol manager only works with addresses, as far as I can tell.

I would also be interested in a solution for this.

As far as I could find, there is some support for segments in the debugger (e.g., object Symbol has the field symSegments), but I don't see if this "symSegments" field is ever set.

Looks like the author (probably Edwin) was planning to add it, but it never ended up in the parser.
One could make a custom/extended parser and load the information, but I'm not sure it will already be correctly used then....
