hello list,

i hope this is the right place to ask for help translating the above
error. googling the error message produced no hits.

i'm trying to get my plantronics headset working with Micro Star
International Bluetooth Dongle. i've gotten further using info found at:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ubuntu.user/77096/match=bluez+gnome+headset+dapper

than with anything i could dig up in the wiki, or in the ubuntu forums.

## for plantronics headset, the red&blue lights must be flashing ## check!
>> The command should output something like this:
>> Scanning ... 00:13:70:4F:83:3B Nokia HS-26W
## for headset,... 00:03:89:53:EC:7F 320 Plantronics ## woohoo!
>>
>> The set of numbers is the Bluetooth Device Address, bd_addr for short.
>> Running the command: >> sudo hidd --connect <bd_addr>
>> should connect the mouse to the computer, and allow the mouse to work.

## running: >>sudo hidd --connect <00:03:89:53:EC:7F>
## bash: syntax error near unexpected token `newline' ## gah!

can someone where to look to address this error? thanks in advance.
