How to automate creation of user accounts

Hello,

I desire to automate the creation of user accounts.  Is this possible
with AppleScript (I am just making my first steps with AppleScript).
Here is what I have to start:

tell application "System Preferences"
    tell pane "Accounts"
        tell anchor "passwordPref"
		??????
	end tell
    end tell
end tell

What do I tell the passwordPref anchor in the Accounts pane of System
Preferences?

I have also noticed the command line tool nicl (NetInfo Command Line),
which could be used to add the accounts, but there are some fields in
the netinfo user directory that I have not seen documentation for, and
it might be tricky to encrypt the passwords.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Paul Humphrey
