I'd suggest making the texture of the patch object with ambient=0 and, if 
you're using MegaPOV, then make sure you're not double_illuminating the 
patches.

Oh, and make sure you haven't set the no_shadow flag on the patch object 
within Moray by accident.

If you want to be able to see the light beam coming out of the window, 
then you're into the realms of media, and at least from me, you're on 
your own :)  The best advice I can giv on media is to tweak it, tweak it 
some more, and be ready to curse when it doesn't work out how you 
expected :)

Bye for now,
     Jamie.
