In the script near the end is a routine "getOutFile". This script (which was
written by Richard Shapiro, not me) was quickly converted from Outlook
Express without testing. Entourage has a key word "file" that conflicts with
the read/write file routines. Therefore, you have to force it to a file
specification. Add the "set" line as below before the "open" statement, and
it should work. Did for me, anyhow.
set outFile to outFile as file specification
open for access outFile with write permission
