What are these settings/enu files in my JFW 7, please?

note: I have just run the Jaws repair on my several days old installation of 
Jaws 8, taking the option to let the program remove personal script files 
I'd copied, perhaps mistakenly in some cases, into the new version's 
settings/enu folder. Then I copied, again, only the third party script files 
I knew were right to copy: Audible manager, AdAware, Spyware Blaster, plus 
one mysterious file for Open Book without which Open Book won't use Jaws as 
I set it up to before (by unchecking Enable Sleep Mode in default.jcf and 
choosing No Speech in the Open Book settings/speech menu(.. And I think 
that's it. So my questions below are about script files that are in my Jaws 
7, but which I haven't yet copied over to Jaws 8 this time, awaiting some 
well-informed advice.

There are some files I'm not sure what to do with. For example, what are the 
files whose names look like _core_ and so forth? What is the filename 
splash? What are the three files with Jaws extensions with the filename 
Manager (as opposed to audible manager)? And if, as George says, every major 
Windows application has its own JFW script files,why are there no such 
things at all in my Jaws 8 settings/enu folder, even though, as you can see 
below (I hope, if the files list pane of Jaws 7/settings/enu pastes in) 
there certainly are in Jaws 7. For a moment, I thought I recalled learning 
that some files of this sort aren't created until you actually run that 
application using the new Jaws, but I've been running Outlook express and no 
Outlook Express 5-6 or Outlook Exp[Express files have yet appeared in my 
Jaws 8 settings/enu folder.

Last, my dictionary files. As it stands, I seem to have lost some or all of 
my dictionary tweaks in Jaws 8, and I'd like to restore them. But the 
dictionary-related files in my old settings/enu folder, below, don't look 
like what George describes. They use the filename dictionary, and have three 
of the familiar JFW extensions. Can't remember if one of those is .jdf, 
until I paste in the filenames and take a look. But I'm confused about this.

I hope someone can respond to some or all of these questions. I know the 
above may look complicated so, please, read it over carefully, just as I 
read George's instructional post several times before doing anything.

...and last comes all my spyware blaster files. My cirtualize/copy /paste 
routine didn't work very neatly, and I've just apspent more time than I want 
to admit going through what I pasted in and removing all the extra 
information on each line, which might have been helpful to someone who 
understaood the info, but it was all run together.
