GEARs are accessed on the Toolbar to your left. The Icon is in the 1st Column, 7th row and looks like a GEAR or an abused donut.
GEARS are visual representations of PHP code which can be found in your System Actions. GEARS do display in the Browser but appear only as a box while working within the GYRE. Click them and look at your Properties palette to see & adjust optional properties for each GEAR. Additional GEARS (not shown) include Product Plans, Simple Contact Form, Display Feed (RSS/RDF), Cart Toolbar & List. Others are under development and will be added after testing.
