My Mac won't move the window with your script
below, but we've already established off-line
that there's something wonky with something in my
system that's giving rise to these little issues,
like the fact that assigned Terminal window names
aren't "sticking".
I'm unable to verify this because of the gremlins
infesting this PowerBook, but I wonder if the
error you get has anything to do with the fact
that the Terminal window likes to be a set number
of columns wide, as opposed to an arbitrary
number of pixels (and same with rows deep)?
Rather than sizing it using the bounds syntax,
what happens if you do this?
tell application "Terminal"
-- activate
set position of window 1 to {0, 0}
set number of rows of window 1 to 25
set number of columns of window 1 to 82
end tell
When I run that it puts the window in the corner
and sizes it appropriately. It doesn't give an
error, even on this misbehaving machine.

This works for me to position a Terminal window in the top left:
tell application "Terminal"
activate
do script "ls"
set bounds of window 1 to {0, 0, (item 3
of bounds of window 1) - (item 1 of bounds of
window 1), ¬
(item 4 of bounds of window 1) -
(item 2 of bounds of window 1)}
end tell
Well, it works, but then it generates an error,
but the window is positioned correctly.
