   5  -- Instructions for use:
   6  -- paste this script into Script Editor and save as an application to ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Finder/cd to in iTerm
   7  -- run via the AppleScript Menu item (http://www.apple.com/applescript/scriptmenu/)
   8  -- Or better yet, Control-click and drag it to the top of a finder window so it appears in every finder window.
   9  -- Activate it by clicking on it or dragging a folder onto it.
  10  
  11  -- Another nice touch is to give the saved script the same icon as iTerm.
  12  -- To do this, in the finder, Get info (Command-I) of both iTerm and this saved script.
  13  -- Click the iTerm icon (it will highlight blue) and copy it by pressing Comand-C.
  14  -- Click on this script's icon and paste by pressing Command-V.
  15  
  16  -- Another way to give it the same icon as iTerm is to save the script as an application bundle (instead of an application),
  17  --  then copy the icon by entering these commands in iTerm:
  18  -- $ cd ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Finder/cd\ to\ in\ iTerm.app/Contents/Resources/
  19  -- $ rm droplet.icns
  20  -- $ cp /Applications/iTerm.app/Contents/Resources/iTerm.icns droplet.icns
  21  -- $ touch ~/Library/Scripts/Applications/Finder/cd\ to\ in\ iTerm.app
