Spark Fun 434 Mhz radios

Hello!
I just bought a pair of Sparkfun 434 Mhz radios today via the book store for NYU. (They sell scads of electronic items for ITP next door its a school of independent thought and project designing there.)
Basically one of the suggestions for them is for using the PIC based gadgets that're found on the Sparkfun website. www.sparkfun.com but since it gives the examples using a BASIC dialect I immediately thought of the BASIC Stamp, probably in my case a Stamp One since that's what is living here.
Since ideas on using them happen to be rather sparse even coming from the firm who directly sells them I decided to return to this forum to bounce this off of all of you.

And you said:
Okay here goes for the xmitter www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8946
And then for the receiver www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8950
Indeed there are several styles of transmitters and receivers, and a few for 434 Mhz, but this pair they claim is unique. What I don't like is that these parts are made in China and one of the data sheets opens into one that's readable under Acrobat on Linux, and one that causes it to complain because the reader doesn't have access to the appropriate character set.
Heck, I've got scads of parts here who're made all over the place and the appropriate data sheets are created from all over the world and open correctly, this is the only ones who do that.
What I have in mind for the moment is having the Stamp send a series of numbers via the transmitter and have its receiver respond accordingly, as in having it dump that stream into something of a sort. And that's the part that's got me confused.
