Mac Finder and Terminal: Open a Mac Terminal window in the current Finder folder

Mac Terminal Finder tip: How to open a Mac Terminal window in the current Mac Finder folder.

As a Mac OS X newbie, I don't know if there is a better way to do this, but to open a Mac Terminal window from the current Mac Finder folder, I wrote an AppleScript script. I'm new to AppleScript also, so the script is pretty simple. Here's the code:

tell application "Finder"
    set myWin to window 1
    set thePath to (quoted form of POSIX path of (target of myWin as alias))
    tell application "Terminal"
        activate
        tell window 1
            do script "cd " & thePath
        end tell
    end tell
end tell

When I run this script from the AppleScript menu on the Mac menubar, it opens a Mac Terminal window, and automatically places me in the same directory as the current Mac Finder folder. Sweet.
