vi is unix text editor, you could use whatever editor you like, but not under windows, it will ruin config file

You may install midnight commander or leafpad
Hi Freemangordon, Thanks for your quick reply & advice. I added the vi before the /etc/bluetooth... & it's connected without an error message now . I have VIM previously downloaded for the editor. Thanks for your great app!

For anyone else in the same position as me this is what I did.

1 - Install rootsh & vim
2 - Open X Terminal and type: sudo gainroot (click enter)
3 - Next typed: vi /etc/bluetooth/main.conf (click enter)
3 - Where you see: DisablePlugins = network,input,hal, move over the "i" of input & type x several times until input is erased.
4 - Then type :w (click enter) & :q (click enter)
5 - Reboot N900
6 - Go to Setting > Bluetooth & pair keyboard to your phone.
7 - Next go to the External Keyboard > Tools & connect.
