2210/Fugawi UK/Fortuna Clip-On start-up query

Hi Everyone
I'm new to this stuff so hoping you all can help.
As you can see in the subject line I have an IPAQ 2210 with Fugawi UK and a Fortuna Clip-On.

So the Fortuna indicates all the correct lights, the IPAQ has been paired with it and they seem to communicate.

My question is when I start the Fugawi s/w going one of 2 ways what is the problem?

The first way everything works nicely but takes a few taps on the screen to do it: clip-on turned on; start bluetooth manager and double tap the Clip-On icon and a link is established. Start Fugawi UK and the GPS position is displayed on the map OK.

All very good but I was hoping that the bluetooth connection might be handled automatically when I start-up Fugawi.

The second way has the problem. With the Clip-On turned on and I start the Fugawi s/w the bluetooth manager window is displayed asking me to select which item I want to link to (I only have the Clip-On paired as I have no other BT devices). When I tap on the Clip-On icon the IPAQ seems to lock-up and nothing further happens. The only way to get it back is to do a soft reset.

So the questions are: what have I done wrong. I have tried a hard reset and re-loaded the Figawi and re-pairing the Clip-On?

Am I being too optimistic thinking that it should happen automatically as I don't want to have to select which BT device to use as I only have one?

By the way I have VBAR installed after seeing it mentioned on these forums and it has helped to see what is running etc in the background.

Hope you can help,
thanks
Adrian

Perhaps you could just describe the sequence of events you use to start Fugawi UK with a BT GPS receiver to give me an idea of whether it is possible or not.
