Several things to worry about. Most likely in this case is that file myRefNumber isn't return delimited - it's using unix endings (ASCII character 10, or it's from a Windows machine using return & lineFeed (ASCII character 10). Finally, if the text is unicode, you'll have to account for that.
I'm trying to set my delimiter to "Return" reading a file but it's not work in Script Editor. Funny thing is that it does work in Script Debugger but this isn't on the machine I'm deploying it to so I wish to make it work with Script Editor. I end up with just a list of 1 item so the last line errors. Anyone know anything about this or do I need to make a return character differently? I simply hit a return in between two quotes.

set DataInfo to read MyRefNumber using delimiter "
" as list for 500
set TheProcess to item 2 of DataInfo --errors here
I wish to add that I am not sure that the delimiter defined by the script is a return.
If I remember well, the Script Editor in 10.4.8 defaults to linefeed.

Try this:

set fileContentAsText to read file xxxxxxxx
set fileContentAsList to every paragraph of fileContentAsText

As far as I know
"every paragraph" is considering return and newline.
