[Adium-devl] Use of Applescript make commands

[Matt Handley]

Oh, you're quite close. The correct 1.3svn syntax is:

tell application "Adium"
	tell account "applmak"
		set c to make new contact with properties {name:"123456789"}
	end tell
end tell

I don't think making a reference to am undefined contact should (or  
could) add that contact. However, I think I can change things so that  
contact names, rather than references, can be used. So the following  
would become syntactically correct:

make new chat with contacts {"123456789"} with new chat window

I think that should appease scripters.
