John R. Gersh (gersh@aplpy.jhuapl.edu) came through with the solution
for Systems prior to 7.0. Using Resedit, open the Finder's LAYO
(resource 128) and set the option "Titlebar Click" to 1. (You must be
using a relatively recent version of Resedit, incidentally. Version
1.0.4, which I first tried, doesn't see this option.) A double click
in the titlebar of a window in the Finder will now bring up the
window's parent.

As always use Resedit with caution, working only on a *copy* of your
working Finder.

I also discovered that you can make this same modification without Resedit
if you use Layout. (I have version 1.8.) For those who don't know,
Layout is a free program available at sumex (try the
/info-mac/utilities directory). In addition to being able to modify
the titlebar click, it can also change a few other Finder parameters,
including the pattern and spacing of icons in windows.
