Better yet, try making the first part of the script into this:
tell application "Finder"
set currProcs to name of processes
end tell
Otherwise you're getting a list like this:
{process "Control Strip Extension" of application "Finder", process "EPSON
Launcher" of application "Finder", process "FBC Indexing Scheduler" of
application "Finder", ...}
The string "Microsoft Entourage" is <never> in that list so your IF
statement always fails. If you change it from "processes" to "name of
processes" it will work.
