[Adium-devl] Use of Applescript make commands

[Evan Schoenberg]

http://trac.adiumx.com/ticket/9879 points out that the address book  
scripts are broken with the new applescript implementation.

The SMS one has an obvious initial problem - screenName was copied  
from another script and should actually be phoneNumber.

However, fixing this to

tell first account of service "AIM"
	make new chat with contacts {contact phoneNumber} with new chat window
end tell

only works if a contact with the UID phoneNumber on the first account  
already exists. Otherwise, we get a nil contact and everything goes  
poorly.  Could looking up a contact by UID be made to create the  
contact if it doesn't exist?

Furthermore, I tried to make a new contact, but I can't figure out the  
syntax. The following:

				tell first account of service "AIM"
					set myContact to make new contact with properties {UID:phoneNumber}
					make new chat with contacts {myContact} with new chat window
				end tell
gives:

Help! :)
