  Neat idea, but:

      mv .bash_profile ~/.bash_profile
  

  No thanks, I have my own things in there.

  On a similar note, if you just want to open a new Finder window to the current working directory (instead of using an existing Finder window), just use

    open .
  

  The 'open' command has tons of uses (open a file with a specific application, reveal a file in Finder, open a URL in the user's browser, etc.) and I recommend reading its man page.

  Cool stuff. In a perfect world, it would be awesome to have the terminal be a pane attached to the Finder window. :)
