Hi Joachim
If you want the tool macro available immediately after startup, you should
add the tool macro's code to StartupMacros.txt file which is located in the
macros folder. This is OK if you do not have too many tools installed in the
StartupMacros file. Using the ">>" menu is a good option. To use it just put
the macro's file in the macros/toolsets/ folder.
The reason why it does not work by just putting your file in the plugins
folder is because these macros are listed in the plugins menu and set up so
that they can be run, not installed (what is required for Tool macros). In
the case of a macro file that holds more that one macro, only the first
macro in the file is run (the abort macro in your case).
