I tried saving everything between the # signs and another including the
# signs and got an error message both times.
What am I doing wrong?

The file that worked for me looks like this:

No blank lines anywhere, and saved as "KaiTek.kml"
Don't forget the ".kml" extension.

Oh yea, you have to have Google Earth installed.
