Sample send IM script?

[Parand Darugar]

Dear Etan,

The account is signed in; I can setup an event loop and receive events
on it. I forgot to mention - on the nullclient side I get:
** (process:28764): CRITICAL **: purple_conversation_new: assertion
`gc != NULL' failed

I'll look at goim command, that seems like a very good lead.

Much thanks,

Parand
