Scripting Address Book

I'm trying to write a script that takes the currently displayed address card in the Address Book application and does something with it, like, say, copying the name, company and address to the clipboard so that it can be printed on an envelope, or inserted into a letter in Word, or TextEdit.
Problem: I can't figure out, from the Dictionary, how to get that information. I would guess that it would work similarly to iTunes, where you can get the name of the currently playing tune ("the name of the current track"), or the name of the current playlist. But I can't find anything in Address Book that corresponds to this sort of thing, and nothing I've tried seems to work.
I'm a relatively new user of AppleScript, so I don't know if there's something obvious I'm overlooking or if this ability just doesn't yet exist in the applescript api of the Address Book.
Any help would be appreciated,
Gibbons Burke
