Here is the solution to the problem of changing keyboard settings for one application but not another I posted about earlier. A big thanks to net bat for this.
It does indeed work, although it seems rather counterintuitive. I don't quite follow why, when a particular set file is loaded, and I go to the keyboard settings and turn it to Voice Off, it just doesn't perform the operation for that specific application, and not others, right then. It seems unnecessarily complicated and confusing to have to go into the Global menu and change something before the changes apply only to one application by altering the settings when the particular set file for that application is loaded. It is reasonable to suppose that if I hit control backslash and WE announces the specific set files it is using, that all these menu choices should apply only to that specific application by default and not all of them. If the settings are going to apply globally, then maybe Window Eyes should say Active Global point 000 associated global point 000, or something like that.

It said active Winamp point 000 associated none. I set keyboard to voice off because if I don't, I hear the character of the key I'm pressing, as well as what the command is for Winamp. For example, when I hit the key to increase the level of the equalizer, it says grave accent, then the level. So when I turn off the keyboard voice, I just hear the level and nothing else, which I like better. Then, I saved the set file for Winamp. Well, then I opened up Internet Explorer and tried to enter a url, and heard nothing. So I go over to the WE control panel and it says active Ie point 000 associated IE point 000. Checking the keyboard settings, I see that it is set to voice off. I never changed the keyboard settings in IE, and certainly don't want to turn the keyboard voice off. I only want to turn the keyboard voice off in Winamp, not in any other application. I just checked this for Windows Mail, which uses the OE point 0001 associated OE point 0001 set files, and if I turn the keyboard voice off for Winamp, it turns it off in that application also. This is definitely something I don't want, since I can't hear what I'm typing in my email program. Perhaps I am totally clueless, but I thought that the purpose of set files was to customize the way Window Eyes operates for various applications. But as far as my keyboard settings go, it seems that a change is global, not particular to one set file. Could someone clue me in as to how I can make particular keyboard settings for one application that do not carry over to others? Is my installation of WE somehow messed up?
