Barry just did.
So... Let me be more specific.
Launch the AppleScript editing application (called Script Editor) from your
/Applications/AppleScript folder.
Copy and past the line in the Script Editor new script window, removing
extraneous characters so that it all shows up as one single line.
Select the 'Compile' button at the top of the new script window.
Save this file, giving it a descriptive name like "DeleteCompleteTasks.scpt"
in your "Entourage Script Menu Items" folder, which is in the
~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/ folder.
Now go into Entourage, and create a new schedule, setting that up to occur
as a repeating schedule every x days (I've chosen 7), and set the action to
run that AppleScript you've just created.
Open nets...
