The scripting dictionary for Entourage says that "home address" and
"business address" both contain data in the form of a "postal
address"...which is defined as:
Class postal address: A postal (street) address
Plural form:
postal addresses
Properties:
name string [r/o] -- which address (business, home, other)
street address Unicode text -- the street address
street address 2 Unicode text -- the street address (line 2)
city Unicode text -- the city
state Unicode text -- the state
zip Unicode text -- the zip code
country Unicode text -- the country
The words "as postal address" should be entirely unnecessary, but having
them there should not make any difference. Probably, as Paul suggested,
simply re-saving the script as a compiled script instead of an applet made
the difference. Otherwise, I don't know...
