Thanks for helping someone who can't code himself.

But it doesn't do anything...

As I said this is executed via /usr/bin/osascript inside a shell script
called from Terminal. I'd like the Finder window to come in front of
Terminal and get the focus.

If you want both the window to become frontmost in the Finder, and the
Finder to become the frontmost application, use :

tell application "Finder"
set index of window of alias myPath to 1
activate
end tell

Of course, the window must already be open in the Finder.

Since the previous line of code (see original post) works on the
frontmost Finder windows anyway the only thing I need is "activate".
Which does the job. Thanks again.
