Valerie,
Gedcoms are imported, not opened.
Go to File > Import File > Gedcom.
Note there are quite a number of options to choose from - use defaults
if you don't understand them - and ALWAYS import into a new Legacy file.
If you want the data in a current Legacy file, clean it up first in its
own file and then either import all the file or use Split Screen View
and drag and drop just the bits/people/families/ you want in your own file.

Ian,
MyHeritage hints are very slow since they've been throttled.
Make sure the refresh period is at the maximum 120 days. I'd also
resist the temptation to refresh hints. This wipes hints for that hint
supplier but put's everyone for whom hints have been requested in the
hint queue again.
It would be better to delete the Hints file <yourfamilyfile>~hdb.hdb
or double click the 1 in front of the first quick bookmark to open the
Hints Monitor and click Start over there which erases the file for you.
Alternatively, if you need quick hints from MyHeritage, use the
Internet Search for MyHeritage. Search > Search Internet or Internet
> Search Internet. They go to the same place and you can choose your
site. Note you can add your own internet searches here as well. The
Help from it explains how to do that.

I'm not sure why, but the only hints (orange dots enclosing a number)
that I have are from FindMyPast - none from MyHeritage for several months.
I have a lot of data and use the Legacy FT program often and for
lengthy periods, and I visit/view/update many of my people frequently.
Is there something that I need to do to wake up MH hinting?
