Well, I don't know how to 'post the URL...etc.' (I'm a new Mac user and not
that techie)

It's easy:

1. Go to the web page from which you downloaded the script.
2. Highlight the URL in the address bar at the top of the web browser
window.
3. Choose Edit > Copy from the menu bar.
4. Use Edit > Paste to paste the URL into a message you'll post here.

But that's ok - I've already downloaded and examined the script. See my
previous post about that.

But here is some more info:

When I downloaded it , it went to 'Downloads' and I dragged it to the
Entourage Script folder - and it is there, looks just like all the other
items (4 KB - script options) in that folder. It never asked me if I wanted
to un zip it...

That's probably because you have the Safari Preferences > General > Open
safe files after downloading option checked. So when you downloaded the
ZIP file, Safari automatically opened (unzipped) it.

BTW, that's a bit of a dangerous option to have checked, because there
have been trojans in the past that have exploited it to infect Macs.
Personally, I'd advise you to turn that off.

and when I 'open' it - this is what it says inside:

Does that help?

The problem isn't the code, but the fact that the file is missing some
metadata that tells applications what type of information is stored in
the file. You can esily re-create that metadata by opening the script in
Script Editor and saving it. After you do that, the file should appear
in the Entourage script menu.
