In MacOS 9.1 and earlier, you could use
set parentFolder to "::" as alias as string
Note that if you run this in Script Editor, you will get the path of the
folder which encloses the folder containing Script Editor. To observe the
behavior you want, you will need to save your script as an application and
run it.
Sadly, Apple broke this in 9.2 and OSX. Anyone have any answers for those OSs?
