I don't understand what you mean by enter the 'obex://...' command. Where
would I enter it?!?
Like I said in my previous email I'm a newbie and I'm not that familiar with
Nautilus, yet.
Also I don't know what the id numbers of my SAGEM mobile phone is. Is there
an easy way I could find out?!?
An easier way to go is to install 'gnome-bluez' and 'gnome-bluetooth'

That sounds like what I want to do. I did install the gnome-bluez (actually
named "bluez-gnome" and there was also other "bluez? programs I also
installed {see list below}) and gnome-bluetooth. I now have the "bluetooth"
icon on my system tray.
I used the Synaptic Package Manager and searched for "blue". Listed below is
a text listing of the programs names (or modules) which have been installed
currently with the Synaptic Package Manager.
I'm thinking that maybe some of these programs (or modules) could be
conflicting with each other.
Could you please advise me whether or not I should remove (uninstall) some
of these, to try to make my computer using the USB Bluetooth Dongle 'talk'
to the SAGEM mobile phone.
I must admit that I'm 'out of my depth' here... So I'll rely on your advice
;-)))

To Font or not to Font?
This is a configuration test. I found a setting in Thunderbird that will enable Text font only to designated domains. My default setting remains html. If this works it will allow me to appease both the Ubuntu list purists and my own preference for HTML for others . . . . Hope this works Dave W -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au

You don't actually use gnome-vfs stuff directly. It is used by gnome applications such as nautilus. In the case of gnome-vfs-obexftp you can go to nautilus and enter obex://[00:00:00:00:00:00]/ Replace 00:00:00:00:00:00 with the id of your device. An easier way to go is to install 'gnome-bluez' and 'gnome-bluetooth' then the next time you login a new icon will appear in the system tray (on your panel bar) that looks like the bluetooth logo. From this you can search for bluetooth devices, authenticate to them and then let it load the right path in nautilus.
