In other words, telling Entourage to quit is a simple matter of telling
Entourage the quit, but telling Finder to do the job requires naming
Microsoft.

I think what's going on is that the application name to use in a "tell" statement is the name that the application uses as its application menu title, and not the name it uses in the dock. In most cases it's the same, but with Entourage it's different. In Mac Remote Control, I use the name in the dock, hence it also fails. I'm gonna have to fix that. Now the question is, how do we get the name used as the application menu title through scripting?
