Entourage Category Export to text

I am using the Categories Export script to (hopefully) export only one category of clients to a text file so that I can import it and print labels in FileMaker Pro. The file I get contains only information about the category, it’s name and color. How do I get a text file of names and addresses from Entourage into a text file?

Thanks in advance,

Rich

Something as this? (saving to a text file or directly import into FM is left as an exercice for the reader)

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
	set theCategory to first category whose name is "Friends"
	set theInfo to ""
	repeat with i from 1 to 50000000
		try
			tell contact i
				if its category is {theCategory} then
					set theInfo to theInfo & its display name & tab & its address & return
				end if
			end tell
		on error --> no more contacts
			exit repeat
		end try
	end repeat
end tell

theInfo
