Solved the problem before posting but will post it anyway in case anyone

I've got an old hypercard stack that I can't get into. Rev quits
immediately when I try to open the stack. I also tried creating a
different stack, and then "edit the script of stack xyz" to see if there
were something I could override causing it to quit but that quits too.

Any suggestions?

I answered but saw that the reply address has changed, so my first reply will show up on the new list when it appears.

But what I said was that this is a common symptom of uncompressed HC stacks. If you first open the stack in HC and compress it twice, any Rev/LC engine will usually open it.

What changed wasn't the HC import, I don't think, but the way the engine deals with the imported stack. The file format changed in Rev 2.7 and that may have made a difference.
