Can Terminal be told to open new windows as tabs in the existing open terminal window?

Question

Terminal has tabs feature in Centos Linux Desktop
which is very nice.

But when i open new terminals they all get opened as

NEW WINDOW

not as tabs.

i need them to bring up the existing terminal window
and open themselves as new tabs.

this way everything is more organized.

What command you use to open a terminal window. Try `that_command --help` it probably has a switch to open just a new tab in the existing terminal.

Open Terminal, SHIFT + CTRL + T to open another tab in that same window

I not sure if that is what you want, but ya..

Also, under edit->preferences, you can tell terminal whether to default to open with tabs or terminals.
