AppleScript has always supported the possessive ('s) form as well -- see
p. 124 (1st edition) or p. 167 (2nd edition) of the ASLG -- but for some
reason most people don't use it. For example:
tell application "Finder" to get the name of item 1 of the startup
disk's first folder
--> "Applications" (at least on my system)
