concatenating a cr (or whatever line delimiter the file uses if opening

mstart)
I think it should find the first line as well:
on parseFile
put "/path/to/file" into tFile
put cr & "mstart" into tDelim
open file tFile for read
repeat until eof
read from file tFile until tDelim
-- process the text here
end repeat
end parseFile
The only hitch is that the last word of the retrieved text will be
"mstart" preceded by a cr. But it wouldn't be hard to delete that and
add it before the next retrieval, since the delimiter is a constant.
