The words listed in the `primary` parameter should have been highlighted, it 
works for me.

For some reason unknown to me, the `comment_single=--` parameter does not work, 
so I tried with Lua:
```ini
[styling=Lua]

[keywords]
keywords=assembler else elsif end for forever function if include loop pragma 
procedure return then var while
function_basic=_usec_delay

[settings]
lexer_filetype=Lua
tag_parser=Lua
extension=jal
comment_single=--

[build-menu]
FT_00_LB=_Compile
FT_00_CM=jal "%f"
FT_00_WD=
```
and it looks a little better.

Do you understand the gist? You need a language parser that is most similar to 
JAL.
Or you need to add JAL support to Scintilla and CTags, and then to Geany...
