What kind of highlighter is named in the status bar? That is probably 
"Guessed". The behavior is, that eric first tries all built in QScintilla 
lexers iaw the lexer association. If it can't find a suitable one, it uses 
Pygments for highlighting. You may select an appropriate one from the list of 
alternative languages via the editor context menu. If you like what you see, 
you may associate this lexer with the *.asm pattern.
