Never dabbled in microcontrollers, but would like to give it a shot. I want send an ascii character over rs232 to a microcontroller. I want to have the microcontroller to have at least one digital out(that is all i need). What would be the simplist route to go? What do i need to get to program this chip,, ect. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!!!

Check my PIC tutorials, PIC's would be ideal for your task - and my RS232 tutorials do almost exactly what you want. They are based on the 18 pin 16F628, but will work with the 8 pin 12F675 series just as well (with your limited output requirements).

You may wish to explore the slightly newer 8-pin 12F683... It's INTOSC (internal oscillator) will run up to 8-MHz, compared to 4-MHz in the '675, and it has 2-kwords memory and the very useful TMR2 peripheral which can provide the 104-usec 'ticks' for interrupt driven bit-banged 9600 baud serial I/O (example on PICList)...

Oops... I mistakenly said the 12F683 has 4-kwords of memory when it really only has 2-kwords of Flash memory... Sorry guys... I edited my original post...
Recently microchip has released the 10Fxx series of Pics in DIL 6 format (16 pins in total). So you have 2 pins for Vdd and Vss (ground), and 4 programmables pins to do what you want... I think thta this kind of mcu you need ...
