Did you want the full technical answer, or just the 'Layman's Lunch'?
For the latter, it has to do with fancy stuff like frameworks, scope etc.
Fur the full explanation start browsing at
http://developer.apple.com
Can you have this performance outside of Entourage? Certainly. Entourage
does nothing out of the ordinary here. Simply run your (compiled) scripts
from the system script menu (the little black scroll on the right hand side
of your menu bar).
If that menu icon is not showing, open /Applications/AppleScript/AppleScript
Utility.app/ and check the box to display it.
