On Computer

Bluetooth file transfer not completed
	Windows was unable to transfer some files
	The Bluetooth device cannot process files of this type.
	To try again, click the Back arrow

That file was a Notepad multi-tab file (twice) so I tried another file ....

Tried with a .png Screenshot (new'ish computer so not much choice.) 
..... and got the same result Failure.

Thanks for trying, Frank.
