I don't remember if HyperCard or SuperCard support negative chunk expressions. If they don't, the expression would be a bit more complicated, but still a single line.
HyperCard does not support negative indices.
Also, the example above produces a list. You probably want to coerce it to a string (although this example leaves tString unchanged):
set tString to word 1 to -1 of tString as string
Presumably you'd want to change 1 or -1 to something more interesting.
