Technically, blocks are Perl classes inherited from ''TectoMT::Block'', each saved in a separate file. The blocks repository is in ''libs/blocks/''. 
-  * To solve a more complex task, selected blocks can be chained into a block sequence, called also a scenario. Technically, scenarios are instances of ''TectoMT::Scenario'' class, but in some situations (e.g. on the command line) it is sufficient to specify the scenario simply by listing block names separated by spaces. +  * To solve a more complex task, selected blocks can be chained into a block sequence, called **scenario**. Scenarios are stored in ''*.scen'' files (alternatively, the block names separated by spaces can be simply listed on the command line) and at runtime the scenarios are represented by instances of ''TectoMT::Scenario'' class. 
-  * The highest unit is called application. Applications correspond to end-to-end tasks, be they real end-user applications (such as machine translation), or 'only' NLP-related experiments. Technically, applications are often implemented as ''Makefiles'', which only glue the components existing in TectoMT. Some demo applications can be found in ''applications''.+  * The highest unit is called **application**.

-If you are not familiar with ''Makefile'' syntax, another way of running a scenario in TectoMT is using ''.scen'' file (see ''applications/tutorial.scen''). This file lists the blocks to be run - one block on a single line.  +If you are not familiar with ''Makefile'' syntax, you can run the scenario with a simple ''bash'' script (see ''applications/tutorial/run_all.sh''):
