John,

First, I can't seem to close the 'Annotator' "entry panel" at the bottom of
the Squeak window.
This in turn is hiding the "blue ball", so I'm launching Cobalt by opening
the Objects menu.

Second, still having problems importing objects. I've installed Sketchup
v7.0.10247, and have exported some skp files to kmz format.

Here's one of them (a Rubik cube) http://tinyurl.com/cmt23t

 When trying to use the Add Object menu, the errors are :

As for the "drive A: thing .."

For now, I just stuck a random disk in drive A: ;)

I don't know the nitty-gritty of the programming, but programs like windows
explorer, or even the 'open file dialog' for any windows program ... when
you navigate to 'my computer' (i.e. an overall view of all drives), the
drive letters ARE displayed, but the drives are not actually read until you
doubleclick / press enter on a drive letter.  It seems that the first time
the 'select a model' dialog is run, it is by default selecting the first
drive in the list (A:) and trying to read it.

Is it possible for that dialog to be opened without any drive being
selected?  Or better yet, either a) have the drive/directory that the
program was launched from be displayed or b) have an entry under the
Cobalt/general preferences for file locations and start from there (the
default which would be the program's launch directory).

btw all the above is standard in most every other program ;)

Mike
