Subject: Some pointers needed on FXRuby-based app

I'm teaching myself Ruby by way of building an application using 
FXRuby. I've gotten to the point where I have a functioning GUI, 
and I can create dialogue boxes containing data extracted from a 
database. However I'm having difficulty working out how to get the 
data from the dialogue box form back into the application. 

I'm used to dealing with web-based scripts written in PHP where all 
data is posted into the server so the adjustment to client 
application coding is proving a little difficult!

I've attempted to figure it out by studying the textedit 
application that was bundled with the Ruby installation, but I'm 
not quite getting it, and although the class documentation for Fox 
is quite good actual usage examples are almost nonexistant.

I've posted the source code for my dialogue form at 
http://www.flatnet.net/ruby/EditUserDialog.rb.html. If anyone could 
give me some hints on how to proceed then I would be grateful.
