tell application "Finder"
set MyFile to alias "Lipstick:Users:g5:Desktop:HelveticaNeu.zip"
set oldTID to AppleScript's text item delimiters
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"."}
set NameNoExtension to text item 1 of (get name of MyFile)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldTID
end tell
The problem with that is that a file's name may have more than one period in it. So instead of "text item 1 of ...", use "(text items 1 through -2 of ...) as text"
