I didn't know they needed a tutorial...the basic syntax is very simple:
glow {
    location LOCATION// the location of the glow center
    color COLOR// Do I have to explain this?
    type TYPE// Use 0 or 1 right now
    warp {WARP}// this adds unevenness to the glow effect
    TRANSFORMS// You can rotate and translate glows. Scale and matrix 
will also work, but be aware that these only move the center and do not 
affect the shape of the glow.
}

Also, did you try looking at the demo scenes to see what you were doing 
wrong?

I have some sample renderings with varying parameters on my site:

http://www.schunter.etc.tu-bs.de/~chris/raytracing.html

Otherwise things are not very complicated, so just try it out (and check
the sample scenes as Chris mentioned)

Have I missed something? I thought you could NOT translate glows. It's never
worked when I've tried it before.

  You can't translate the glows from outside, only from inside the glow
block.
  An awful limitation, but that's how it is right now (hopefully not for
too long).

You can transform them directly, but they will not transform if you 
attach them to an object or light_source and transform that. I am 
working on fixing that, but it isn't an easy thing to fix.
