It's been done already.  Check out the module called Window Open.  I found 
that it neatly solves the puzzle I had in starting this thread: a quick 
way to send the active filer directory to Thump to show thumbnail images.  
Christopher Martin, the maintainer of Thump, suggested Window Open.

Result is that Alt-T now does the trick.  It uses the Keystroke utility to 
execute this one simple command:   *WO_openwind Thump <filer$dir>   Magic!

Window Open offers a number of other interesting commands, such as 
ensuring a task is running or removing one that is running, moving a 
window, etc.  Available from   http://armclub.org.uk/free
Originally by DEEJ, it was 32-bitted in 2002 by somebody called Druck.
