I need to have something a scene I am doing emit light on the objects around it. Can anybody point me to a tutorial dealing with this?

Thanx,

Add a material for the object and in the Shaders tab move the "Emit" slider up until you reach the desired value. You can also look at Lux Render: http://www.luxrender.net for a render engine that supports that feature in  realistic manner.

I tried what you said. The object gets brighter but it isn't giving off any light.

In the Scene panel (F10), enable the "Radio" (Radiosity) button.
