tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
tell contact 1
set myCategories to category --> category
-- set aCategory to item 1 of myCategories --> error:Can't get item
1 of category
set myCategories to category of it --> {category id 6 of application
"Microsoft Entourage"}
set aCategory to item 1 of result --> category id 6 of application
"Microsoft Entourage"
name of aCategory --> "Family"
end tell
end tell
You don't have to use "of it" when you run the same script to get links of
contact 1.
