Mike - thanks for the idea but even a script like this fails
on mouseUp
lock messages
go stack [legacyStackPath]
end mouseUp
The result is the file I chose is not a stack file.
So currently I can't open a stack which is a nearly two years of work in
an older version of Livecode. Meanwhile, 7.0.1 is so full of bugs (even
playing a sound after 'waiting till sound is done' crashes) I can barely
use the stack. I failed to maintain piles of old versions of my project
trusting Livecode's claim that a release is stable and relying on the
legacy saving ability. Both of these have failed leaving me pleading
for suggestions.
Anybody?

You might turn off messages before opening the stack to see if it loads.
Also, if you're double clicking to open the stack, try using the file menu
instead.
