Apps and sets are very different. When you think of a set file, think
settings file -- a place where Window-Eyes settings (either global, or
program specific) are stored. These settings are as simple as things
like speech rate and punctuation, or more complex like hyperactive
windows and dictionaries. Set files are essentially a storage method,
and are written in simple XML.
Apps, on the other hand, are much more event driven, and can act based
on the environment at any given time. Apps are designed to enhance
either Window-Eyes or a specific program (or both) by modifying
existing, or creating new, functionality. Apps can be written in a
number of different programming languages, and can control
speech/braille behavior at a much lower level. Think of apps as small
programs that Window-Eyes hosts, like add-ons for Firefox.

Hi,
Probably I am not having true, but aren't scripts replacing the sets? Or
which is difference between scripts and set files? Both are textual files,
which can be written in some syntaxes and give us some feedback. Maybe the
scripts are better programming language, what is giving the power, but
basically it is the same isn't it?

It is the popularity of Apple's apps for its products that is driving the
use of the term elsewhere.
Scripts sound complicated to the neophyte; and apps sound simpler to use.
Keep in mind that GWMicro disparaged scripting for a long time as they
didn't have it and JFW did.
So they made it seem daunting for the average user keeping them away, if
all possible, for those that first started out with WE.
I cannot help thinking that the legal wrangles between GWMicro and Freedom
Scientific brought about the terminology change for differentiation
purposes. Scripts then once again became the turf of FS which probably
was one of the points of contention.
In the truest sense, Christian pilgrims have the best of both worlds. We
have joy
whenever this world reminds us of the next, and we take solace whenever it
does not.
