  Dear Derick thanks for your help I  attempted to follow the 
instructions in the Fixstars packet you referred to.
Logging in as superuser I then followed the instructions.
The command install bluez-libs bluez-utils   worked with some packages 
being installed, and then the replied "nothing to do", so I assume the 
bluez-utils were already installed.
However the next command failed.. namely                service  hidd 
stop [enter]
I got the reply:                                                        
                                                "bash command not found "
Similarly when I entered                                          
service [enter]
 I got the reply                                                         
                                                    "bash command not 
found."
typing :                                                                
hidd --server --nocheck -n [enter]
gave me the response  :                                               
                                                  Cant listen on HIDD 
control channel Address already in use.

I did not get to the hidd[8284] prompt
so I typed CTRL C  which didn't work and I exited with    Exit.

Checking in Linux manuals I could not find the command  "service". 
Though there are clearly services such as Bluez. Next after finding The 
Bluez reference on Wikipedia , I found a completely different set of 
commands for getting Bluetooth devices paired.
http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/InputDevices
However it is above my level of expertise to use them
Can anyone clarify for me why the commands did not work, and what should 
be done?
Thanks
