part of my app requires an authenticated login to last.fm as in:

my question is:
how to i start a browser session in smalltalk to set up the authenticated connection, then run through each of the api calls i will need to make?
Just as an FYI, I think you're looking at the wrong place. The page you're referring to states explicitly: "This authentication how-to is for web applications only. Desktop application developers should see the desktop application how-to."
A "web application" is one that runs in a browser to begin with so the question of how to launch a browser for your app isn't really applicable.
But besides that, I think you're looking for the ExternalWebBrowser package which can be found at SqueakMap:
