LC 8: Go stack doesn't work anymore?

[Peter Bogdanoff]

If you are opening a stack for the first time (it is not in memory) then you have to specify the full URL for the stack file (including “.livecode” if that is in the filename of the stack). After that, the stack can be accessed by only the name of the stack within LiveCode.

I’m seeing it work properly in LC8.
