Well - essentially Apophysis is programmed in Pascal, written via Delphi. I do believe that the actual scripting is parsed via Scripter Studio (see link attached for that component) - obviously not all of the commands are relevant to scripting for flame production, and some of the component names are defined in the actual program files  - things like "Transform.Linear" for example.

Fred has done some pretty extensive playing with scripts, and the only other person that would know more than anyone about them is Piotr Borys (one of the actual Apo developers), but I'm not sure if he has the free time available to write a definitive text on scripting (full time job and all that sort of thing... lol!) Fred gave you a link to Piotr's webpages that contain the update text files for Apo, didn't he? Those are probably the best place to start the journey to learning how to write scripts, as is picking apart some of the older scripts linked above, and play about... grin
