There may be some preference item in Terminal to tell it NOT to open a window but I don't know where it is.

 If it worked like it was supposed to, you could do this

tell application "Terminal" to launch

 and no window would open, and this

tell application "Terminal" to run

and a window would open. If you do the same with, say, TextEdit, the former launches the application, and the latter launches it and opens a new document. If I'm not too impaired right now - it was a beery Saturday - I recollect that the "normal" behaviour is that launch starts the application, but doesn't open new a new document, and run has the same effect as a double click, and puts the application through its normal startup cycle, launching it and doing whatever other initial actions it has been mandated to do (which for most applications is opening a new blank document).
