I have a collection and macros and functions in a single macro text file. I
would now like to translate these routines into a toolset, which requires
making a single macro file for each operation and saving it in the
ImageJ/plugins folder.

The original approach allowed different macros to use common functions, but
it seems that an individual tool must be completely self-contained. I was
hoping that I could install a macro containing all common functions that
would be accessible to tool macros but this does not work. In general, it
appears that only a single macro file can be installed at a time.

Is there a way to do this? I don't want to have multiple instances of the
same functions in different macro files.

thanks!
