Firstly, I'm not having much luck getting HDR images to show up in Luxrender with the newest LuxPose build, even though the .lxl file is linking to it.

Just to make sure it works: Can you please use an HDRI delivered with Poser?
Maybe the images you whant to use aren't the right format.

Secondly - I've made some really nice skies in Vue and Bryce. Is there any way we can, say, use a .bmp image for the sky rather than an .hdr? Inquiring minds wanna know ;o).

Yes, you can use LDRI also (Low-Dynamic-Range-Images). But probably you have to use additional light in your scene, because a LDR image commonly has not enough "energy" for good contrast.

I did use an HDRI from Poser adp...sorry, I forgot to mention that.... I used the Pond scene. While the .lxl file was linking to it, it didn't render in Luxrender. All I got was a blueish sky. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...hehe.
