This is how to add an “Open terminal here” entry to the eOS file manager.

Create /usr/share/contractors/openinterminal.contract with these contents:

[Contractor Entry]  
Name=Open terminal here  
Icon=terminal  
Description=Open terminal here  
MimeType=inode;application/x-sh;application/x-executable;

Restart the terminal, and voilla!
