The visor is just a place that Maya uses to store presets of various mel scripts, pfx brushes, dynamic caches/setups etc.

If you right click on one of the images in the visor it will give you options along the lines of 'import whatever.mel/ma' or 'apply brush' (eg. import an example file/preset or use a paintFX brush)

cheers,
Chris
