Some of the examples use grammar I don't quite recognize:
"メッセージを送なさい。"
"書類を読むの為に開ける"
I think I would have said "送りなさい" and "読む為に". Hopefully, Haku is or can be made flexible enough to handle that.

A more natural form of those sentences would be "メッセージ/文書を送信(Send message/text)" and "書類を開いて読む(open and read document)" or "書類を読み込む(read-ingest document)", than implied imperative "[You] must send message" or "[You] open document for the purpose of reading" which don't feel to me that they follow this topic-comment logical structures.
This topic-comment model is also seen in Nadesiko Japanese programming language, as quoted below from "open file" function reference page:
> 「ファイル.txt」を開いて、Sに代入。
> Sを表示。
(my attempt at translation:)
> "file.txt" be opened, S it assign to.
> S be displayed.
As clearly seen, the object such as filename or variable are brought up first, then subsequently augmented, with subject simply missing.

You can’t have suru work on a verb, so the author turns the verb “to read” into a noun by adding the no.
The kanji for suru and the lack of a wo kinda hides what is going on.
読むのをする→読むのをしに→読むのを為に→読むの為に
For the other one, I agree with you. Basically the only real looking result on google for “送なさい” is this thread and haku’s homepage….
