Skype (was: VoIP Client Scriptable)

I played with this some time ago and it does seem to work. 

tell application "Skype"
  send command "MESSAGE echo123 check" script name "My Script"
end tell


I could never quite figure out what the function was of the mysterious 'script name "My Script"' clause, though I did determine that it has to be there. I seem to recall reading somewhere that it's just Skype's way of identifying who's making the request. I don't think the name string has to match the actual name of the script that's issuing the command. 

Also, for Skype commands that return status information, this works: 

tell application "Skype"to set Skype_result to send command "<command string here>" script name "My Script"

The command strings are in Skype's developer documentation.
