Using Command line to display a contact

[goo doldme]

Hello-I'm wondering if it's possible to display a particular contact from the
command line?
I know that you can display the contacts folder with
outlookPath+ " /select outlook:contacts". But cannot find how to display a
particular contact.

See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/links.htm for the format you need to
use - basically, you need to include 'foldername/~subject' in the path.

I followed that link but couldn't see any reference to command line?
Did I miss something or am I just getting tired?

outlook.exe /select outlook:contacts/~Jim

to choose a contact whose Subject is "Jim"

outlook.exe /select outlook:contacts/~Brian%20Tillman

to choose a contact whose subject contains a space. To determine the
"subject" of a contact, open the Address Book interface and examine the "Name"
field for that contact.
