Dear Wayne,

Thanks for the info. The startupmacro solution works fine and that's
the option that I had already gotten to work. My only problem is that
I find the place where the macros are shown to be a bit hidden and I
would like to give them a stand alone menu. For what I understand now
it is not possible to that with a macro set?

Would converting my macro set to a plugin do the trick? i.e. be able
to present my macro set in its individual menu?

Thanks for the help,
Bruno
