It's may be _something_ like that. But GUI scripting does not see the swatch
as any sort of character, as I half-expected it might. Using UI Browser,
it's clear it sees only the name, which works, as you can see, in the
script. Keyboard Shortcut prefs may work differently, which would not
greatly surprise me...

PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - **2004**, X
or 2001. It's often impossible to answer your questions otherwise.
