Hi Collin.
I guess that the easiest way would be to make a specular material, and go from there? Maybe you have made the window glossy instead of specular, atleast thats what i think
Even though its more realistic to make glass have IOR of 1.6something, it can be a good idea to let it have an IOR of 1.0, that way light wont bounce around like crazy when going through... Is hell for path-tracing, until MLT arrives
Best of luck, and maybe some of the pros will step in and guide you better

can't be done, in the upcoming release this should be possible (as soon as MLT is introduced)
