I know there are several BS2 programs included in these files but I don't know if any of them use a LCD as a display.

I didn't include any Propeller code examples but I'm pretty sure I have a few in case anyone is interested.
These sensors are pretty easy to use. You set the sensitivity and scaling amounts by pulling a few pins high or low and then read the frequency the chip outputs. It's been a while since I've used one but I was able to read my pulse rate by shining a light (LED) through my finger and have the sensor read light level on the opposite side of my finger. The extra blood during a pulse would dim the light from the LED (red or IR) and sensor was fast enough (when used with a Propeller) and sensitive enough to detect this pulsing light.
I took a closer look at the Nuts & Volts article (nv21.pdf) and I see it uses a 16 x 2 LCD for output. The code in the article (also available in "nv21.zip") should be just what you're looking for.
Here are a few Propeller demos I found on my hard drive.
Even though the names are very similar, I think the various demos were written by different people. I did not write any of these demos myself. I think I found these on the TSL230R product page and possibly in the OBEX.

IMO, these are really cool little sensors.
