Not really.
SET is when you want to set a variable of some sort that isn't seen to the
user. Only to the shell.
The export command is something that the user will see and the shell will
recognize:
example:
export PS1= >this would set your primary prompt
export alias => export that alias.
or
alias ll='ls -al'
alias bob='df'
export alias (export's all predefined alias's in .bashrc file)
set would be used like this:
set env=
set shell=
and so on...
If I can be of further use please let me know.
