Thanks to Cheryl for forwarding this. If you do not have the RiVO keyboard, just use the on screen keyboard and double-tap and hold on the "next keyboard" button to the right of the numbers button in the lower left of the screen. Once you have added the extra software keyboard and gone through the steps below, at least for me and at least one other person, the bluetooth keyboard is working again, which is what I am writing this message on. Thanks to the RiVo team for figuring this out. Perhaps Apple should hire them.
