this should be simple, but its driving me nuts. I have figured out how to
insert the cursor at the beginning of a reply, but then I need to hit return
twice. Is there a way to "hit return" automatically? With Scripts?

Well, it could be done with a script, but it would be horribly complex and
error prone. Also, you would have to initiate the reply with some other
keyboard combo apart form Cmd-R, and you couldn't use the built in reply
function.

Why do you want two blank lines at the beginning of the message?

If the reply is not in html format and assuming that your reply window is in
the front something like this would insert two blank lines:

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"

set theReply to front window

set (content of theReply) to return & return & (content of theReply)
end tell
