What I would like to do is have a project from the Etoys folder open immediately when Etoys-to-Go is launched from this USB drive (bypassing the clouds, car and script, but leaving that Home screen accessible with the back arrow).

This should do it:

	...
	self setTextVersion.
	(Project named: 'MyProject') ifNil: [
		[Project fromUrl: 'MyProject.pr'] ifError: [].
	].
	...

(Explanation: The "ifNil:" test is needed to prevent opening MyProject again every time you navigate to the home project. The "ifError:" lets the opening proceed normally if MyProject.pr is not found)

To make the change permanent, you will need to save the Etoys image:
* start "clean" (no additional projects loaded yet)
* make the "script1" change
* press Cmd-Shift-W to open the full world menu, select "jump to project..." and go to the hidden "Unnamed1" top-level project
* press Cmd-Shift-W again and select "save and quit"

Note that this will load the home screen first, then your project. If you want to bypass the home screen completely, do this instead of the above:
* start "clean" (no additional projects loaded yet)
* press Cmd-Shift-W to open the full world menu, select "jump to project..." and go to the hidden "Unnamed1" top-level project
* insert a line near the bottom of the SugarLauncher>>startUp method, it should look like:
	...
	[Project fromUrl: 'MyProject.pr'] ifError: [].
	self welcome: ''
* press Cmd-Shift-W again and select "save and quit"
