At the end of every folder action script from Apple, is a commented handler
for keeping a window open. (at least the ones that came with my OS 8.5.1)
All you would need to do is uncomment the code. You can try adding these
lines to the finder tell block, within the handler:

set popup of the window of this_folder to true
set pulled open of the window of this_folder to false

right before the end tell line. You'll note that this will place the folder
tab as far left as it can go. I'm not sure what to do about that.

Anyway, hope this helps.
