From http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/sbrt/index.html :

on remove_extension(this_name)
  if this_name contains "." then
    set this_name to ¬
    (the reverse of every character of this_name) as string
    set x to the offset of "." in this_name
    set this_name to (text (x + 1) thru -1 of this_name)
    set this_name to (the reverse of every character of this_name) as string
  end if
  return this_name
end remove_extension
