// Message with a good checksum received, dump it.

here is a copy of my code for the receiver; i figured out from some of the other responses that i need to download vitualwire to the arduino lib, i found the download. but am unclear as to where i put it. remember i'm new at this - it's fascinating & i want to learn. any help will be greatly appreciated!
