Well, that's interesting. It's quite loquacious. Here's what it has to say
on that topic:

2004-09-17 11:08:47.988 Microsoft Entourage[432] CFLog (0):
CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): Old-style plist parser: missing semicolon
in dictionary.
2004-09-17 11:08:47.989 Microsoft Entourage[432] CFLog (0):
CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): The file name for this data might be (or
it might not): file://localhost/usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles
2004-09-17 11:08:48.228 Microsoft Entourage[432] CFLog (0):
CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): Old-style plist parser: missing semicolon
in dictionary.
2004-09-17 11:08:48.230 Microsoft Entourage[432] CFLog (0):
CFPropertyListCreateFromXMLData(): The file name for this data might be (or
it might not): /Applications/Entourage Today 2004/Entourage
Today.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings

This segment is repeated a few times.


Both its guesses are wrong. (Neither the timezone file nor the Entourage
Today app is correct.) I guess that confirms it doesn't know where the hell
to find Entourage. Except AppleScript itself does know where 'application
"Microsoft Entourage" is: just the Finder doesn't know it. And the Console.
So does this help me somehow?
