I have one question....in king's valley 1 from konami memory location 467d we have

467D: ADC A,E
467E: NOP
467F: INC E
4680: LD (#6363),HL
4683: LD H,E
4684: LD (#001C),HL
4687: JR #46C1
4689: INC B
468A: JR #465A
468C LD A,(HL)

The corresponding hex data is

8b
00
1c
22,63,63
63
22,1c,00
18,38
04
18,ce

now up to address 47a5 this piece of code makes no sense at all.
Is there a way in the msx debugger of openmsx or bluemsx to flag an area and say
"from 467d to 47a5 this is data" so that the debugger does not show meaningless machine code language commands.
Or say from "4000 to 5000" this is code,so the debugger prints all the specific instructions?

I have located many data segments in konami games however i find it difficult to do what i want (which is to create a listing of those games in machine code) mainly because i can't find a way to list for example in the debugger areas that have data like

DATA for font in king's valley 1 adress 46d7 to 47a5
467d:db $8b,$00,$1c,$22
db $63,$63,$63,$22
db $1c,$00,$18,$38
db $04,$18,$ce,etc

i want to get rid of meaningless machine code from the debugger...
