OK, sorry to reply to my own post, but I've solved this.
Here's the script...

do shell script "/Users/Charles/bin/sig.sh"
tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Microsoft Entourage"
click menu item "Paste" of menu "Edit" of menu bar item "Edit"
of menu bar 1
end tell
end tell
end tell
