one reminder to one event of the calendar, like in ical?

Entourage does not support more than one reminder for an event. However,
you could spawn off tasks with reminders for each additional reminder you
find necessary and just link them back to the original event.

The following script will do this for you:

(*
Create Task from Event
*)

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"

-- get the currently selected event

set selectedEvents to selection

repeat with theItem in selectedEvents
if (class of theItem is event) then
set theSubject to subject of theItem
set theContent to content of theItem
set theStartTime to start time of theItem
set theProjects to project list of theItem
set theCategories to categories of theItem

set newTask to make new task with properties {name:theSubject,
content:theContent, due date:theStartTime, category:theCategories, project
list:theProjects}
end if

link newTask to theItem -- automatically link the two
open newTask -- open the task window

end repeat
end tell

Just copy and paste into Script Editor and save the script within the
Entourage Script Menu Items folder of your Microsoft User Data. If you add
something like /cT to it, typing Control-T in Entourage will automatically
run the script (though it won¹t do anything if you don¹t have an event
selected). Each time it spawns a new task window, all you have to do is set
the reminder time you want. It could use a bit more polish, but I just
whipped this togther after seeing your post.
