You can use the Script Editor's Record function, but mine came out 
something like this (the PGP disk is named Email Disk):

-- Startup Eudora
--    - need to mount Email Disk if not already mounted
tell application "Finder"
   -- Check to see if Email Disk is not mounted, and mount if necessary
   if not (exists disk "Email Disk") then
      -- Email Disk is a PGP Disk. Insert your path here:
      open file "Email Disk" of folder "PGP Disks" of startup disk      
      -- Now loop until Email Disk has been successfully loaded
      -- otherwise the script will try to open Eudora before
      -- the Email disk pass phrase has been entered.      
      repeat until (exists disk "Email Disk")
      end repeat
   end if
   -- Now open Eudora
   open file "Eudora Settings" of folder "Eudora Mail Folder" of disk 
"Email Disk"
end tell

Note: from 'open file "Eudora Settings"' to 'of disk "Email Disk"' is 
one line.

My Eudora App file is not on the encrypted disk. My entire Eudora Mail 
folder is on the encrypted disk, and I put an alias to the Eudora Mail 
folder (with the name "Eudora Folder") in the system folder.

After making sure it works, do a "save as" on the above script as a 
run-only applet, and put it wherever it is convenient.

You may email me directly if you need more explanation.

HTH.
