It should have been this, btw:

on parseFile
   put "/path/to/file" into tFile
   put cr & "mstart" into tDelim
   open file tFile for read
   repeat
     read from file tFile until tDelim
     if it = "" then exit repeat
     -- process the text here
   end repeat
   close file tFile
end parseFile
