the message app dictionary

Hi all,

I've noticed the messages app has an applescript dictionary of itself, and thought it might be a good alternative to using twitter with its api limits.

But messages doesn't seem to handle buddy properties well

Here's what i typed:
tell application "Messages"
send "test" to buddy whose name contains (triple7")
end tell

The send action is there with a text string or variable following it.

Then there are properties such as id, handle, name etc. I've tried all properties but messages doesn't seem to find it.

Says 

Can’t get buddy whose name contains "triple7".

I've double checked spelling from my contacts app and tried sending my friend a message live and it worked.

Is this just a mtter of messages not actually being scriptable yet?

Any pointer greatly appreciated 

Yuma
