Everything is just wonderfull but I have not found any descriptions of Buttons , Frames and other basic controls in included files.

You have to create buttons, frames, windows, etc. using the Win32 API through FB. Unfortunately, the Win32 API for creating these controls is extremely poorly designed and horrible to work with.
I believe adosorken is working on a program to let you design an interface visually, then generate the FB code to produce it.
When classes are implemented, you can guarantee that somebody will wrap up the Win32 API controls to make it simple... until then, you'll have to do it the horrible way.
Either that or you can use text mode.
Oh... Gtk has been ported recently, but I'm unsure about how much easier it is to use.
