I may be wrong, but I believe the way you determine how things will be saved globally or just with a given application's set file is under the blobal menu. If you set file verbosity is set to "voice and verbosity," all your changes will be saved for all other script which are set to use voice and verbosity." If you have an appication that you want to have different settings, first change the blobal setting while that application is loaded 6 either off, just Voice or just Verbosity (depending which type of setting you want unique for that application.) So, if you want an application settings to be restrict to just that application, change the global voice and verbosity setting to off, then make your changes and save the set file. Then those changes will only effect that set file.
I hope that is helpful.
