Poking around other threads dealing with configuration file changes I found the following:
I needed VIM or another console editor to be able to do this. I downloaded VIM using the Application Manager on device by searching on the term "vi".
I then did a little research into the commands used with VI. Here is what I did next:
  • Open X_term
  • sudo gainroot <enter>
  • cd /etc/bluetooth <enter>
  • vi main.conf <enter>
  • Moved cursor over "i" of "input"
  • Type "x" several times until "input," is erased
  • Type :
  • Type w
  • close VIM
  • Shutdown N900
  • Reboot N900
  • Go to "Bluetooth Applet" in status bar
  • Select "Devices"
  • Select "Nokia SU-8W"
  • Select Edit
  • Select "Connect"

To test this I opened X-term and typed sudo gainroot <enter>
This was successful. I have tackled the first part of the SU-8W link up. I now have to perform the other steps to get the numerics, capitals and symbols to work.

Note: I had previously successfully paired my N900 and the SU-8W so did not have to perform that step. If you have not already paired them you will have to do that after opening the Bluetooth Applet and before connecting them.
