Perhaps my question should be, how do I make a glass texture or material
in Moray 3.1?

Ok. I want to make a pathlight with a glass case, with a light source
inside. I made a hollow glass cylindar, put a light inside (point
light). It casts light out of the cylindar. But the cylindar itself does
not glow. How do I make it glow in Moray 3.1/Pov 3.1? 

I still would like to know how to make my own glass texture, by
adjusting transparency of the color in the material editor of Moray.
Thanks

You could use "ambient".

Dunno about Moray, but this pigment/finish makes pretty basic glass:

sphere
{
	< 0, 0, 0> 1                           
	pigment { rgbt < 1, 1, 1, .5 > }
	finish { phong 1 ambient 0 diffuse 0 reflection .5 }
}  

Increase ambient to make it glow a bit.
