Right. It might even be a reasonable enhancement to make, to allow scripts to be universally accessible by more than a single Entourage user. The Script Menu then would display a combination of scripts that are local to the user and scripts that are shared. The latter might be in a Entourage Scripts folder inside the Office folder, for instance.
I can see a definite problem with this idea, however. Many scripts (like yours and mine) make use of properties to store information for the user. If such a script were globally accessible, the information I store in it might be read or modified by another user. Not a good thing. Users would have to know which scripts might store info and which do not, and make sure to make local copies of those that do. Way too confusing. So, IMO, it is best left as it is.
