Inject something into a tab:

# scripting into a tab:
terminal.windows.first.tabs.first.setSelected true
terminal.performSelector( :'doScript:in:', withObject:'echo hello', withObject:terminal.windows.first)

# open a new window (but not a new tab :( )
terminal.performSelector( :'doScript:in:', withObject:'echo hello', withObject:nil)

Maybe merbist knows, I'd really like to figure how to open a tab...

Hacking with macruby is brutal and awesome.

No problem! If you're interested checkout my Mynu gem, I recently expanded it with some basic terminal support:
