Hi,
How do I tell the Finder to only bring a
specific window to the foreground in front of my app?
I can make it...
Open a window (open)
Select a window (select)
Bring all windows to the foreground
(activate)
... but I have been unable to make it
open just one window without bringing the others to the foreground,
too.
Thank you,

tell application
"Finder" to select window 2
I think the OP wants the Finder's window *above* the current
app, not only above the other windows in Finder. Like clicking a
Finder's window while Smile is the front app.
The only route I could think of, but I didn't quite finalize
the idea, would be to minimize the new Finder's window into the Dock,
then switch to the other app, then un-minimize the window in the Dock:
when you do so using the UI you get the Finder's window in front of
the app, and the other Finder's windows behind. I don't know how to
script that.
