Well, I figured it out for myself. Posting here in case anyone else
wants to do the same:
- (void)openTerminal:(id)sender
{
TerminalApplication* termApp = [SBApplication
applicationWithBundleIdentifier:@"com.apple.terminal"];
NSString *dir = // Get your directory here
NSString *cmd = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"cd \"%@\"; clear",
dir]; // Assumes bash, which is okay for me, but maybe not others.
TerminalWindow *window = nil;
if (termApp.windows.count > 0)
{
// Use the first window:
window = [termApp.windows objectAtIndex:0];
}
TerminalSettingsSet *settings = [termApp startupSettings];
TerminalTab *newTab = [termApp doScript:cmd in:window];
[newTab setCurrentSettings:settings];
[newTab setSelected:YES];
[termApp activate];
}

Is there a better way than using NSAppleScript to do this?
