Default Details of how Filter By Form works

I'm trying to use Filter By Form in some applications for several projects,
and the more I use this functionality, the more it baffles me. For instance:

- When a form is displayed as FilterByForm, clicking to close the form
doesn't close it - it changes it from FBF view to normal form view

- Command buttons are disabled on the form when viewed as FBF

- Non-search fields - for instance, a field in the form footer - are
disabled, so that a value can't be assigned to those fields while FBF is in
force

Is there a document out there that explains just how a form in FBF behaves,
and how to work with such a beast?

Thanks.

Danny
