I'm trying to create the effect of having a thick piece of glass that is
frosted and etched with writing.  Next I would like to put a light inside of
the glass so that it would cause the writing to appear illuminated.  Like
glass signs in buildings.  I have created a piece of glass with writing on
it.  The writing is extruded and embedded into the glass.  When I put a
light source inside of the glass, I can see the light but the extruded
letters don't light up.  Any ideas?

Use a color ambient for the text. 
That would increase the render time.
