I think Andy is probably unfamiliar with scripts, Barry, and has never seen the actual contents of one. he seems to be surprised that it consists of words.
Andy, AppleScripts are not text files. But if you take properly-constructed AppleScript text, such as the tiny one-liner that Barry provided, paste or type it into into Script Editor, a application you will find on your computer, and save it as Compiled Script (file) and put it in the Entourage Script menu items of your Microsoft User Data folder, you can run it from Entourage's Script menu (or even from a keyboard command if you learn how to add your own to scripts) to do what you've set it to do. (You can also text it by running it fro Script Editor itself. You will discover that 'say' is a proper AppleScript command.) -- Paul Berkowitz > From: Barry Wainwright <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Wed, 03 Apr 2002 09:30:18 +0100 > To: "Entourage:mac Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: Mail Rules - Customizing Sound > > Yes, I mean an Applescript - it was Applescripts that you referred to in the > message I replied to. > > -- > Barry Wainwright > <http://www.barryw,net/> > > > Never give up.
