The FDefinitions Class is able to handle the contents of the stream.
The ms variable is only on the procedure for example purposes, the
FDefinitions has a TMemoryStream field. What is inside the stream is
a text file, and on the FDefinitions class there is also an
TSringList Field to handle the text file. My main problem is that
after assigning TSringList, its always empty!

About FDefinitions.Clear method it's actually misplaced. It really
should not be inside the loop.
The FDefsDataSet holds the application definitions per user and i
need them on a structure like TCollection/TCollectionItem so that
them can be available on the application at all time for manipulation
and interpretation.
