Subject: Novice needs help with FX Ruby

Hi,

I have very limited programming experience but am trying to figure out
Ruby.  Can someone please help me decipher this simple program found
in the samples included with FXRuby: ( The tutorial located here
http://www.fxruby.org/doc/tutorial1.html  was of some help, but I am
still not getting it)
 
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require "fox"

include Fox

application = FXApp.new("Hello", "FoxTest")
application.init(ARGV)
main = FXMainWindow.new(application, "Hello", nil, nil, DECOR_ALL)
FXButton.new(main, "&Hello, World!", nil, application, FXApp::ID_QUIT)
application.create()
main.show(PLACEMENT_SCREEN)
application.run()


1) what is this nil, nil, DECOR_ALL about?
2) FX::ID_QUIT ?
3) PLACEMENT_SCREEN  ?
4) What is contained in the Fox.so file?  How can I view its contents?


Thanks in advance
