Ron, If your files are XML files you should use RevXML routines to parse them. The user guide has a section on RevXML if I remember correctly. The dictionary can also be used if you select the "library" section and choose XML.
LiveCode has a lot of XML goodness in it. =) Although not about XML per se, the lesson at http://revmedia.runrev.com/developers/lessons-and-tutorials/tutorials/intermediate-rss-feeds/shows how to handle RSS which is an XML format, so you can use this lesson to learn about the routines.
