The differenc is, that 'set' is for shell variables (in scope of current 
shell) and 'setenv' is for environment variables.

If you use 'set' and then try to print the value from forked shell 
script, it will be empty. If you use 'setenv', the shell script will 
print the value.

See 'man tcsh' (if you are using tcsh as your login shell)
