Beginner Needs Help, Corrected

Hi All, Sorry for all the errors before.
Well, as it states, I am a beginner. I am interested in trying
to control a regular 12 volt dc motor with a stamp. I know the
current draw would be to much to directly draw through the stamp, so
I would like to control the motor with a relay. In my application, I
want to control the motor, until a switch is tripped, which would
cause the stamp to stop running the motor. I have a need to control
4 relays, with at least 4 switches. Can any one send me in the right
direction. I think I can get the programing down, with a little
work, I am just curious about interfacing it to the outside world.
Thanx for the help in advance,
Mike

Mike,
A lot depends on your motors current requirements (?) and if it
needs to be reversed to start over again or if it's a one way trip
every time. Other info needed is wether it's full on/off or speed
controlled. These are needed bits of info to determine the level
of simplicity you can get away with. I'll gladly help if you can be
more specific.
