Because Entourage is Carbon, not a package, there is no package plist to
check. The .plist in Preferences does not have this sort of information. I
have no idea where you'd find a listing for "Microsoft Entourage" that would
divulge that its short name, needed for remote scripting, is "Entourage". I
suppose it's probably safe to always check the application menu on the
computer where you're writing the script, and use that name.

That's the whole question I'd like Chris to answer, if he can.

My application is meant to send certain commands to any application, not just one in particular, so if there's a way (any way, hard or not) to find out the name to use for remote scripting at runtime, I'd like to know about it.
