Script launches multiple Terminals w/ incorrect path

My experiences mirror those of vaag. I won't be able to try your suggestions until this evening, but I will post my results. I appreciate your sense of pride in your work and the support you've offered on these pages.

Some details

Sorry that I left these out of the previous post.

I did a clean install of 10.1 (erase and install): I expect that I have only one Terminal binary.

I have a Terminal alias in my Dock. Upon clicking the toolbar script, another one appears, then the one I keep in the Dock bounces, the second disappears, then the two Terminal windows open as I said before. In my case, no matter where I am (though I've only tried this from various subtrees in my home directory) the results of pwd are /Users/craig.

The first Terminal window that appears is the one that I would have if I simply clicked on the alias I keep in the Dock: it's contents are "Welcome to Darwin!" followed by a prompt on the next line. The second window's title contains "cd '/Users/craig';clear". pwd returns /Users/craig.

I placed the script in ~/Library/Scripts.

HTH
