Have you tried help.sap.com? It contains a wealth of information.

And I can be mistaken, but I believe that this quest has already been asked/answered as well (or at least that is what my search engine makes me believe)

Not much detail, but the function group being a module unit contains common objects as global variables, form routines, dynpros, and so on, which can be shared by the single function modules. On one side you face the risk of side effects, on the other side you can do nice things like maintaining a buffering for example. Many SAP function modules use this technique.
