Macro sets are always installed into the Macros submenu at the top of
the Plugins menu. You can add a macro set to the macros installed in
that menu at startup by appending it to StartupMacros.txt. Or copy the
macro set to to the ImageJ/macros/toolsets folder and it will be listed
in the toolbar's ">>" menu. Select it from the ">>" menu and the macros
in it will be installed in the Plugins>Macros menu.
