Script hooks for Skype.

I am using Skype 2.0 on OpenSUSE.  My Basic contacts program is Kontact, and 
Id like to get a script that will allow me to click to call from that 
program.  I currently have 'skype --phone %N'.  That however, 1. doesn't 
foreward the phone number to Skype, 2.) Doesn't foreward the country ID to 
Skype, 3.) when Skype is already running, launches a new instance which 
causes conflicts.

Direct advice on this issue would be good, a handbook,info file, or web page 
so I can learn more generally would be better.

Thank You.
