Determining the path used to call a script

Dear Chums,

If I call a script, how can I determine the full path used to call the
script form the script itself?

Given:
PS> C:\Dir1\Dir2\Dir3\MyScript1.ps1

how can I assign to a variable, $pathCalled, in MyScript1.ps1, the value
"C:\Dir1\Dir2\Dir3\MyScript1.ps1"?

Brillig.
