(if you start Terminal manually, just type command-N to create
a new window.)

That's fine as a solution for use on one machine, if the user is happy with
it. But it would make scripts hard to distribute, since most users who use
Terminal some probably won't have changed the preference, and many would
probably say, after doing so in response to your README, or having your
installer do it to them, "YUCK...what happened?"

good point. the script in question looked to be for purely
personal use. sounds like Terminal might be more flexible
about things like this in the future.
