Go in Window (not working) Go in A window "working"

Mark recommends using "go in window" on Mobile,
saying this closes stack A while going to open stack B
This works on desktop
put ("stack " & quote & gems & quote) into tDestination
go tDestination # but stack A remains open.
but this fails in a backscript
put ("stack " & quote & gems & quote) into tDestination;
go to tDestination in window
Script error, though the dictionary seems to indicate this is correct syntax.
so that I test in the msg box…and also passing by ref which we need to do.
the problem is not using "a"
put ("stack " & quote & gems & quote) into tDestination; go tDestination in window # fails
put ("stack " & quote & gems & quote) into tDestination; go tDestination in a window # works But stack A is still open…(on desktop)
thinking it was because this was being called from a library, text only script (which has no window)
I created a button the top of the main stack
on mouseup
go to stack "gems" in window
end mouseup
# also fails
on mouseup
go to stack "gems" in a window # this worked…but stack A remains open on desktop
end mouseup
but doesn't this entry indicate "a" is optional?
go [invisible] [to] card<lcs,card,> [of stack<lcs,stack,>] [{as mode<lcs,mode,> |in [a] new window|in window}]
and in any case. the firs stack stays open so the goal of only keeping one stack in memory is "defeated" either way..
so … back to this:
go cardOrStackObject # e.g go "gems" (or this string) go card 3 of "gems"
wait 100 milliseconds with messages
close stack oStackName
wait 100 milliseconds with messages
Any clues to using Go in window to close stack 1 and open stack 2?
