You can use them that way, more or less, or at least as an original source
of Unicode text. At least Entourage, and I'm sure OE would be the same. You
can type straight into a message window (or an Entourage Note), or any text
field, using, say, a Russian keyboard. Then, in any script editor, get the
text 'as Unicode text', do things with it, and set selection, or another
field, in the same or a different Entourage window, and the result will be
Russian, and not garbled, either. But Entourage and OE don't implement the
Text Suite, so you have to do your text manipulations in pure AppleScript.
For a simple umlaut, however, you don't need Unicode, just a Carbon editor.
Tex-Edit Plus, BBEdit, Script Debugger - even Script Editor, I think, will
all do umlauts OK. And OE and Entourage, like Eudora, will set them just
fine. There is no script editor - yet - that lets you type Unicode text
straight in and compiles it correctly, although Script Debugger, for one,
will display Unicode correctly in its result windows.
