Open a Text File of Folders/Files?

Seasons Greetings!

How do I operate on a text list of folders?

Text File example:

Apple:MissileToe:
Apple:Fruitcake:
Apple:Partridge in a Pear Tree:

Etc.

As example:
Open all folders in the text file
-----
tell application "Finder"
set the itemList to read file ,
"Folder List" using delimiter return

open folder (every item of itemList) as alias

end tell
-----

The goal is to maintain a text list of folders and files to backup, but I
can't get the folders to even open.

Thanks!

Rachel
