In the online help of the GUI Builder under the "Contents"
page:

  Introduction to the GUI Builder

    Overview
    Creating your first GUI Builder application

The "Overview" and "Creating..." sections should help you
out a lot.

After that you can look at the spec of the gbObject library
(objectada\guibuild\lib\gbobject.ads).  This spec describes
the different properties, methods and events that the GUI
Builder objects have.

Lastly, for more info/questions you can sign up on the 
mailing list with:

 Customer Support                (617) 221 7320

In the future there will be more documentation and examples.

Happy programming,
