I have already begun to download plugins and lwscripts but do not know where to put them in order for me to get them to work. 
Thanks for your quick reply

Ah, ya meant in general. Maestro's a little specific about where it goes, but most plugins aren't as picky. (we're working to alleviate that...)
Well, here's what I do: [list=a][*] Create a plugins folder that you can easily maintain, backup, etc. [*] Put all your new plugins (.lsc, .ls, .p) into this folder. [*] From within Layout, see the "File/Layout/Rendering..." pulldowns? Pull down Layout and select "Plug-ins", then "Edit Plug-ins". [*] On the right, there's a two buttons: "Add Plug-ins" and "Scan Directory". Use "Add Plugs" if you want to add a new plugin. Use "Scan Directory" if you want to go through every single plugin and install it. [/list=a]
It's important to note that there are a number of different types of plugins out there. Different plugins are started in different ways. For example, a 'Motion Plugin' is run by selecting the appropriate item, pressing 'm' and clickong on "Add Modifier". A Master Class plugin, however, is loaded by going to the Scene tab and clicking on 'Master Plugins'. That sort of make sense?
