from the manual:
"Default finish diffuse for maps controls the lightness of the maps 
applied to the scene. Default is 0.6. Higher values make map colors more 
vivid." Typically the default works well but you can experiment and see 
what you like.

You can insert the glass material into any material using the POV-Ray 
material tab. See the pov-ray texture section under the materials 
chapter in the manual. Glass is one of the default materials that comes 
with POV-Ray. You can even type in the POV-Ray code for your own 
materials. PoseRay will insert the needed dependencies in the code 
before rendering.

As for radiosity I am no expert but higher quality usually minimizes 
artifacts but it leads to higher render times. You can go through the 
POV-Ray radiosity sample scenes and get more details.

PoseRay has a preview window. Just rotate, pan or zoom the view using 
the mouse.  If you are using a small screen just click on the preview 
tab "stay on top" in the camera section. This will bring the preview 
window to the top. POV-Ray will render the scene using the same camera 
that was used in PoseRay.

I recommend you go through the manual. It has some tutorials.
