RFID Reader Debug Data from Card

For a project for class, I'm trying to make my BS2 output to my computer the data on our IDs, which have RFID. I have the parallax RFID reader. I just can't figure out how to code it to debug the output. I'm slightly new to this, and while I feel I can understand the code when I look at the documentation, any time I try and write my own it doesn't work.

    First try the sample code in the documentation and make sure the RFID Reader works for you and your IDs.

    Typically, it's best to start with some existing sample code that works and modify it step by step to do what you want.
    You will also understand better how the device works and you will learn more about programming.

    The tutorials like "What's a Microcontroller?" are really good step by step introductions to programming and Stamp
    programming particularly. All of the tutorials are downloadable from Parallax. Go to the main Parallax webpage and
    click on the Resources tab. You'll see a link to Downloads. Click on that and you'll see Stamps in Class Downloads.
    Click on that and you'll see links for each of the Stamp tutorials.

    If you have specific questions about Stamps or about a sample program or about a program of yours, by all means
    ask. If it's about a program you wrote, be sure to attach a copy using the Attachment Manager.

    Your IDs may use a different protocol or frequency than Parallax so get it working with one of the parallax cards first.
