How to modify JavaScript Comment Lexor

Whenever I have "< ... >" in a comment line of Javascript code, SynWrite get messed up in its syntax highlighting as shown below:

What should happen here is that the entire comment including "<make> elements" should be syntax highlighted as a comment.
This is not a big deal, but it messes up code reading and gives the impression I have an error somewhere.

My workaround is to not use < and > in my comments, but can someone point me in the direction as to how to modify the Lexor to include these characters in the Javascript comment line?

Thanks!
This is an outstanding programming tool!!!

Options/ Customize lexer (when JS active)

on right - is reg-ex. make it simpler. make only string //.*
(delete other lines)
