It may need a bit more under some conditions:
tell application "Microsoft Entourage" to (get version) as string
osascript -e 'tell application "Microsoft Entourage" to version as
string'
The AppleScript command 'version' returns a result that sort of looks like
text (it has "quotes") but in fact is in an ancient format - its
(AppleScript) class is 'version'. In the Terminal that's coerced to string,
so perhaps osascript does it all by itself, but there may be some contexts
where you'll get stuck without the explicit coercion 'as string'. (That's
certainly true within AppleScript.)
