Default Help - Need Advice - New Transom Interior Doors - Load Bearing?

We have two interrior door ways immediatly inside our front door.
These doorways don't have doors and above the doorways is sheetrock.
Above these doorways I want to put in a glass transom and then install
nice glass doors so the entranceway will look much. I have looked in
several DIY books but I can't find one that deals with installing glass
transoms. What's the best way to do this? Also, how can I tell if a
doorway is loadbearing? I suspect above the door and behind the
sheetrock are short studs above the header. Would it be best to put
glass in and not take out the studs above the header and simply put
trim around the studs?

Thanks in advance for helping me on this!

Bryan
